After travelling to Turkmenistan in November Back To The Planet has produced a promomotional film for the Turkmen ministers. It highlights how successful the mentoring of natural history film-making went with the Turkmen television team and provides an indication of what we will be able produce with longer periods in the field.

We have since been back to Turkmenistan, again to work with the Turkmen TV but also we travelled to Badghyz Nature Reserve to set up 20 cameratraps in the hope of recording the ever so elusive Asiatic Leopard. We know it’s there as we came very close to seeing it during our trip. However, as it has a massive territory within the rough terrain of the steppe region and accompanied by scorching summer temperatures it’s still not certain that we’ll be able to capture the footage we are so keen and excited to get.

Time will tell and we will keep you informed as and when we do….Fingers crossed!
