Snow Leopard Exhibition, Safari de Peaugres (France), July 2007
After Jurques and Thoiry and for the fourth year of its French tour, the Eco-Sys Action Snow Leopard Exhibit under the yurt moved South to
Safari de Peaugres in Ardeche. The public will be able to travel to Central Asia through the photos of kids inviting them for a long journey into snow leopard territory. People will discover not only the difficult situation of this big cat, but also the diversity of cultures along the fame Silk Road. It will also emphasize the ambitious projects we have with the Snow Leopard Trust (
see project).
Located at the heart of the kids' playground, the yurt will be a sure hit with children and an unique experience. Schools are again scheduled to visit it and a CD kit with fun games and questions about the snow leopards (through the story of Barz, the snow leopard cub) will be remitted to them.
Handicrafts from Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia were sold at the shop together with our cute Barz plush toys. Visitors will be therefore able to directly contribute to the project and help protect the snow leopard and its unique biodiversity.
