WONDER EYES PROJECT and WWF Japan, as a collaborative Project, carried out the photo program in Barabash, a village in Primorskii Region of Russian Far East, in April 2008, and approximately 120 local school children, aged 7 to 17, took photos freely. The village is near the Land of Amur Leopard. They are critically endangered, and their estimated number is about 30-40 in the wild at that time.
