Expedition with Steve Backshall S02E03 - Kyrgyzstan

Steve and the team head to a remote region of Kyrgyzstan in search of snow leopards.

On this expedition, the team head to the Djangart valley, a remote region packed with precious minerals that mining companies have their sights firmly set on.

Teaming up with snow leopard conservation organization Snow Leopard Foundation, Steve and the team set out to find evidence of a breeding population of snow leopards. If they can find snow leopards living and breeding here, they hope to persuade the Kyrgyzstan government to turn the Djangart valley into a nature reserve.
