While working on our mixed reality project about the coexistence of snow leopards and humans in Ladakh, we've come to appreciate just how vital these majestic creatures are to the local culture and environment. Today, on International Snow Leopard Day, we want to pay tribute to these elusive spirits of the trans-Himalayan region. Snow leopards are among the most mysterious and magnificent creatures on Earth. With their smoky grey fur, they've mastered the art of camouflage, blending seamlessly into the rugged mountain terrain. These incredible big cats can leap up to 15 metres in a single bound (!) and thrive at altitudes of up to 5,200 metres, enduring freezing temperatures and harsh weather. ❄️ Unfortunately, snow leopards are a vulnerable species, threatened by habitat loss and poaching. With only 3,920 to 6,390 left in the wild, we need to act now to protect them before it's too late! On our journey making a documentary about these fascinating creatures we're proud to be working with the Snow Leopard Conservancy India Trust, who are on the ground in Ladakh educating communities about holistic conservation. Check out their profile and find out how you can support this important cause! We're also delighted to announce that our project, Living with the Snow Leopards (working title), is gaining momentum! We're currently working on the script and vertical slice and start preparation for our next trip to Ladakh early next year. In the meantime, check out the behind-the-scenes footage from our first trip, where we filmed in extreme conditions! Ph.
