Astounding snow leopard images on BBC One
Friday 10 March 2006
BBC One's Planet Earth is the most ambitious natural history series ever attempted and this Sunday David Attenborough takes us on an extreme journey to a landscape of rock, ice and snow.
Planet Earth
Programme 2: Mountains
Sun 12 March 2006, 9.00pm BBC One
The second programme in this amazing series looks at the mightiest mountain ranges, and gives us a world first as the programme brings us astounding images of a snow leopard hunting on the Pakistan peaks.
The snow leopard lives among the rocky mountains of Central Asia but is under threat. Mainly hunted for its fur, which is prized on the black market, and for its bones, which are used to make remedies for Traditional Chinese Medicine as a substitute for tiger bones, time is running out for these big cats.
WWF is already working with other organisations helping to fund anti-poaching patrols in Mongolia, educational programmes in Nepal, and public awareness programmes in Pakistan.
If you want to do something to help the plight of the snow leopard then why not join in with this year's Walk for Wildlife on Sunday 8 October 2006. To find out more about taking part, just phone our Supporter Services team on 01483 426333. Further details about the Walk will be on our website towards the end of April.
