Panthera

Last year, scientists from Panthera and Fauna and Flora International placed 11 camera traps in the Zorkul region of Tajikistan’s Pamir Mountains as part of a camera trap survey that is being carried out to learn more about the conservation status and activities of snow leopards and their prey in this region. While recently retrieving stored digital images from these camera traps, Panthera’s snow leopard biologist, Nosirsho "Nosir" Kimatshoev, was shocked to find that one of the study’s camera traps had been stolen.
