Sailyugem National Park and Irbis Film Studio have released a documentary about snow leopards.
Altai: Land of the Snow Leopard features unique footage from expeditions to hard-to-reach areas of the leopard’s habitat as well as annual population count data collected by cameraman Ivan Usanov. The film focuses on the animal’s conservation but also covers snow leopard studies in the Altai Territory.
“Thanks to the efforts of many people snow leopards got a chance at survival,” the narrator says.
Altai: Land of the Snow Leopard is available on the Sailyugem National Park official website. Last year, the national park produced the first children’s film about snow leopards, also in cooperation with Irbis Film Studio.
