Our group watching the first SnowLeopard from a knoll above our camp in Hemis National Park. At this very spot, on our first afternoon in the park, and within half an hour of officially beginning our SnowLeopard search, our expert local spotter had exclaimed “ Shan !!” – the Ladakhi name for SnowLeopard.
Further down the road, we reach a derelict building with a large veranda hidden among the trees – an abandoned hunting lodge (if I were in a situation to invest, I would choose to upgrade this into a luxury wildlife lodge). These days, the species shares habitats with Tigers, SnowLeopard, Bears, etc.
From Cougars, tigers, cheetahs, jaguars, and snowleopards and more, it’s a great time to learn more about these amazing cats! Tune in Sunday to watch the first ever capture and release of an endangered snowleopard in Afghanistan! SnowLeopard of Afghanistan. Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, at 8 p.m.
I have been to 11 countries to watch wildlife that this species lives in. A Leopard in India by Yathin Krishnappa (CC). Looking over my list, it seems I’m a fairly shallow wildlife watcher interested in spectacle. This isn’t a target for this trip that I am aiming for, because this is a nemesis species for me.
But he’s got stiff competition, including peers working to save Tree Kangaroos in Papua New Guinea, Sumatran Orangutans in Indonesia, and SnowLeopards in Pakistan. In the end, no matter who goes home with the award (and gets to shake Sir David Attenborough’s hand), wildlife wins big.
My fiance and I drove nearly two hours to the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in rural Indiana to watch them come in for the evening. I was fortunate to rack up a number of lifers in 2013, both at home and abroad ( Varied Thrush in Washington, Brewer’s Blackbirds in California, Burrowing Owl in the Nevada desert).
Apparently, wildlife in Afghanistan is managing to survive despite the horrors of war and violence. The stupid video won't embed, so here's the link to the web page. It's from Time Magazine.
