2/12 of #top12  Foto: Jens Hauser

I got inspired so I thought of selecting my Top 12 photos of 2016. Some of them I selected because I liked the photo and others the experience in taking them but for all of them them it is a way to remember some of the places I have visited but mostly the people I have meet. My second photo, on a pair of Amur leopards, is from Nordens Ark, Sotenäs, Sweden taken during one of my visits there. I met the splendid conservation photographer Tom Svensson and had a great time with him. Although the Amur leopard isn´t directly included in any of the many conservation project like green toad, snow leopard, red panda or Pallas cat they are still getting positive outcome of the Amur tiger project they are running. And they certainly need is as there is fewer than 80 wild ones alive. Special thanks goes to Tom and all of the staff at Nordens Ark.
