May was a busy month in the Valley with several groups of visitors. It was very special for Graeme and Moira Wallace from Scotland who visited to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. What better way to celebrate than seeing a Snow Leopard! In fact, they were lucky enough to see two, including one very special encounter with a sleepy male at just 160m range.

A compilation of video clips of Common Leopard from the Valley of the Cats. Common Leopard is rarely seen in the Valley of the Cats but from camera trap footage, we know that there is a healthy population. Just watch that tail twitching!

Some wonderful intimate footage of a female Snow Leopard with her two cubs taken in the Valley of the Cats in late 2018. Be sure to watch full screen, with sound to hear the growls about three quarters of the way through.. and make sure to watch to the end for a funny finale!

Some recent camera trap video and images of Pallas’s Cat (Otocolobus manul) from the Valley of the Cats, including a wonderful clip of one rolling in the snow. Pallas’s Cat manages to look cute and grumpy at the same time. It is not common in the Valley but there are a few locations where the habitat is suitable, especially areas with large pika populations.

We are delighted to announce that, in 2018, 61 groups of visitors stayed in the Valley of the Cats as part of the community-based wildlife tourism project. These trips have generated revenue of CNY 432,400 (almost GBP 50,000) for the community. That’s just under CNY 20,000 (GBP 2,200) of benefit for each of the 22 families involved in the project. At the same time, many visitors have enjoyed the trip of a lifetime, including special encounters with some of the resident wildlife such as Snow Leopard, Common Leopard, Wolf, Asian Brown Bear, Lynx, Tibetan and Red Fox and much more. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project in 2018 and we look forward to a wildlife-filled 2019!
我们高兴地宣布，2018年，大猫谷一共迎来了国内外61支体验团队的到访，他们作为以社区为基础的野生动物保护行动的参与者，帮助三江源国家公园昂赛自然体验项目积累了宝贵的经验。在过去的一年中，这些体验团队共为社区带来了43.2万元的总收益（将近50,000英镑），平均每户接待家庭收入20,000元（约2,200英镑）。与此同时，许多自然体验者们也收获了一次难忘终生的旅行，在激动人心的旅途中与生活在这里的雪豹、金钱豹、狼、棕熊、猞猁、藏狐、赤狐等野生动物不期而遇。自此，我们感谢每一位在2018年参与和支持自然体验项目的伙伴们，期待在2019年一同书写更加精彩的故事！

It’s been a busy month in the Valley with several groups visiting both from China and overseas. SNOW LEOPARDS have been seen at three different sites and there have been some great numbers (20+) of WOLF reported, as well as a sighting of LYNX on 24 September 2018 (James Eaton, Rob Hutchinson, Dan Brown and Rachael Ivesen-Brown).

NatureWatch2018 took place in the Valley of the Cats, organised by the local government and ShanShui Conservation Center. Twenty teams from across China and overseas competed to photograph as many mammals, birds and plants as possible over the four days. In total, 13 species of mammal, 73 species of bird, 315 species of plant and 4 species of reptile were recorded. Eight teams were fortunate to encounter SNOW LEOPARD and the image below by Hui Lang, not surprisingly, won the prize for best photo!
