Irbis association received the highest award at the v.i. vernadsky national environmental prize

This year, the Irbis Association provided support for the All-Russian snow leopard census in all key regions of irbis habitat in Russia. This initiative was recognized with the Vernadsky National Ecological Award in the category of "Conservation of Ecosystems and Biodiversity." This distinction is not only a testament to the Association’s contributions but also acknowledges the efforts of all individuals involved in the complex expeditions and scientific endeavors.

The Irbis Association’s contributions have facilitated the acquisition of substantial data on the number and distribution of the endangered species, which is crucial for the formulation of effective conservation strategies. The Vernadsky Prize serves as a testament to the significance of the Association’s efforts and serves as a catalyst for ongoing research and conservation initiatives.
