The Interregional Association "Irbis" has been honoured with three prestigious awards at the 2nd National "Rassvet" Prize for Environmental Education and Nature Photography.
The Association’s projects were celebrated as winners across several categories:

"Best Digital Project" - The Telegram channel "Friends of the Snow Leopard." Over several years, this channel has evolved into more than just a community for snow leopard enthusiasts; it has become a hub uniting scientists and nature conservation specialists.
"Best Project for Protected Nature" - The first All-Russian Snow Leopard Census. This large-scale survey assessed the population and status of the snow leopard across its four key habitat regions in Russia, providing critical data to develop effective conservation strategies.
"Best Film Project" - The documentary "Master of the Altai Mountains." This film showcases the breathtaking landscapes and tells the poignant story of the snow leopards and the dedicated people working to protect them.
