Der Schneeleopard - Die ganze Doku | ARTE
Im Hochland von Tibet machen sich Wildlife-Fotograf Vincent Munier und Reiseschriftsteller Sylvain Tesson auf die Suche nach einem äußerst seltenen und scheuen Bewohner: dem Schneeleoparden. Der Naturexperte zeigt dem Autor die Kunst des Spurenlesens, der Tarnung und des geduldigen Ausharrens, um einen Blick auf die Tiere zu erhaschen.

Can we please stop holding important conferences in the US? One of my students is affected by the full travel ban and for others it just doesn't seem sufficiently safe. I love my US colleagues and would have enjoyed attending HSP and ACL/CoNNL but it's simply not an option at this point.
