From February to March, the irbis population was tallied in three additional regions of the Russian Federation: the Republics of Tyva, Buryatia, and Krasnoyarsk Krai.This initiative was endorsed by the participants of the interregional conference, titled "Experience of studying and preserving the snow leopard in Russia, Mongolia, and Kyrgyzstan," which took place at the conclusion of the previous year with the backing of the Interregional Association "Irbis."
In Russia, the snow leopard is found in the Altai-Sayan mountain country, and in 2022, 43 individuals were recorded, half of which live in the Altai Republic, and 24 irbis were found in the Sailugemsky National Park.
