Snow Leopard Exhibition, Jurques, France, April 2005

This year, Eco-Sys Action partnered once again with Zoo de Jurques for a new snow leopard exhibition under the Eco-Sys Action yurt. The new exhibition explains the problem of those big cats in Central Asia with a photo exhibit showing only kids from Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekizstan and Xingjiang, China. Again, this wonderful part of the world is highlighted and the plea of snow leopards is told in a way that makes people understand the fragile balance of life between man and nature.

Schools were again invited to tour the exhibit and kids learned the simple, tough but also happy life of children in the sometimes harsh conditions of Central Asia.

Handicrafts from Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia as well as cute snow leopard plush toys were on sale at the zoo shop to raise funds for Eco-Sys Action's project with the Snow Leopard Trust (see our project).
