Pursuing Snow Leopards at the Top of the World

By Aaron Wirsing (with Shannon Kachel)
Earlier this month, I joined Shannon Kachel in Kyrgyzstan for a couple of weeks of field research. Working in collaboration with Panthera and the local managers of the Sarychat-Ertash Reserve in the Tian Chan Mountains, Shannon is exploring interactions between snow leopards, wolves, and their shared prey (Argali and Ibex). During my stay, we did not capture and collar any snow leopards, which are notoriously elusive, but I was left with indelible memories of the region's beautiful alpine scenery, not to mention the bumps and bruises to show for some truly challenging field work at 3000 m (10,000 feet).

It seems like if you will join Shannon Kachel, you need to be an adventurous person because it's going to let you go different places. It is not just the usual place because you need to climb mountains and everything! For this reason, I would love to be part of Shannon Kachel because I can feel like it's going to be great to be one of them. Perhaps, it is something that I should look forward to, isn't it?
