Amur leopards
IF you were able to get a glimpse of the Amur leopard today, it would be in forests of southeast Russia. IF they weren't on the edge of extinction, their natural habitats would also be found in similar regions in the Jilin Province in North-eastern China, and North Korea.

conservation volunteering - a case study

"The other volunteers and I were excited to be out on the boat on another sightings trip. We were all desperate to see a whale, but after half an hour of rough weather, constant sea spray in our faces and bruised bottoms from the boat our hopes were all but dashed.
