Rather than hunting these elusive, endangered creatures, Ladakh farmers are now protecting them. Find out why on an unforgettable expedition into the breathtaking Indian Himalayas with New Scientist. You’ll take part in cameratrapping and hear from an expert geologist who has studied the Himalayan area for decades. In the company of the Snow Leopard Conservancy, spend five days tracking snow leopards and spot blue sheep and ibex along the way.
Experience Madagascar’s unique ecosystem by privately chartered plane. Visit the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust team and accompany community rangers on a daytime patrol. You’ll learn how the endangered, cat-like fossa is being protected and listen out for the ear-splitting indri lemur. And we’ll explore the mind-boggling Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park and take a walk through the iconic Avenue of Baobabs.
Jump on board our New Scientist charter for a one-off tour of this unique ecosystem, accompanied by naturalist and wildlife photographer Jonathan Green. Learn about the geology of the island, discover why the native creatures are so friendly and get the chance to quiz field researchers in an exclusive visit to the Charles Darwin Research Centre. See giant tortoises and sea lion colonies, spot the endemic waved albatross and get the chance to snorkel at sea then amble on shore.
