The mysterious snow leopard is a beautiful and charismatic animal, found in the remote mountainous regions of Central Asia. Protected by thick, smoky-grey fur, and capable of leaping thirty feet and taking prey three times its own weight, it is well adapted to the cold, harsh landscape.
Fauna & Flora International has been working in the Central Tien Shan mountain range of Kyrgyzstan since 2005, helping the staff at Sarychat-Ertash Reserve to combat poaching, monitor snow leopards, and engage communities, with input from the Snow Leopard Trust.
2011 marks the 10th anniversary of Fauna & Flora International's benchmark Turtle Conservation Programme in Nicaragua. Over the past few months we've featured a series of reports, personal stories and blogs exploring all aspects of the programme, from humble beginnings to hopes for the future.

Pemba Island, 40km off the Tanzanian coast, is home to the Pemba flying fox. Reports in the early 1990s indicated that the species was at risk of extinction as a result of hunting and habitat loss.
Fauna & Flora International has worked closely with the local community and helped with the monitoring of bat roosting sites – resulting in a remarkable conservation success that has seen numbers recover dramatically. The population count of flying foxes has increased from 200 in the early 1990s to over 19,000 today!
