Land of the Amur Leopard -
Russian Far East through the eyes of the children
WONDER EYES PROJECT x WWF Japan
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.
WONDER EYES and WWF Japan present the photos taken by these children. Their photos show you the life in the Japanese neighboring country to which it takes only 1.5 hours by air from Niigata, Japan, and about the nature close to the habitat of Amur Leopard.
*The program was collaborated by WWF Russia and the Russian school
