29、er local villagers in 2015. The village would be paid 40,000 rubles at the end of the year if the image of a snow leopard is caught. WWF also rents horses from the villagers so that they do not need to make money by poaching anymore. “Today there are far fewer leopard poachers but leopards still get

30、 caught in traps set for other animals, so I have to stay watchful,” said Markov.Changing guns for cameras has made a big difference in the lives of these former poachers, the village, and the Russian snow leopards.
