DLT member, Carrie Wilkie, photographs endangered species in her spare time. See the results of Carrie's recent trip capturing snow leopards near the village of Shang, which is in the Leh district of Ladakh, India. They camouflage so well - see if you can spot it. Hopefully, they will be around for many years to come.
