A snow leopard was captured in the village of Boroldoy and subsequently successfully returned to its natural habitat in the Chon-Kemin State Natural Park. This event was made possible thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology, and Technical Supervision of Kyrgyzstan.
Under the supervision of qualified specialists, the animal underwent all necessary veterinary and biological examinations. This male, aged 3-4 years, weighs 42.7 kg and is about 2 meters long.
Before returning to the wild, the snow leopard was temporarily housed in a wildlife rehabilitation center operated by the German Nature Conservation Union (NABU) in the territory of the Saylyu-Terek pasture in the Chui region. After completing a full veterinary examination, it was released back into nature.
