A thought for the snow leopard

Animal Planet will air critically acclaimed award-winning film Gyamo-Queen of The Mountains’ on November 27 at 9:00 pm.  Produced by Riverbank Studios in association with Discovery Communications India, the film is about Gyamo, a snow leopard and her two cubs, who haven’t been seen ever since a big male snow leopard appeared. 

The father-son wildlife filmmakers, Mike Pandey and Gautam Pandey, return to Ladakh to pick up the trail and find the cubs. Exploring this amazing landscape, they discover there are many challenges that surround this endangered cat and threaten their very home.

Interestingly, the film was also selected to be screened at the ongoing IFFI 2018 in Goa. Director Gautam Pandey and Doel Trivedy share, “We still don’t know how many snow leopards there are in the wild. Before we even begin to understand the cats and this incredible vast landscape they inhabit, we can already begin to see the impact of development and tourism. The film is a small effort to understand the ecology that sustains the snow leopard and also the deep connection with people who share its home.”
