The Future We Want: Building Partnerships in Ecotourism and Conservation for Mountain Sustainability
A film by Marc Foggin & Pavel Bolshakov

Documentary film about the development of ecotourism in Central Asia, based on an exploratory venture organised by Plateau Perspectives and Horseback Planet Society in the Lake Issykul region of Kyrgyzstan in October 2019. Project undertaken in partnership with Ilbirs Foundation, Araketke-Bereket and Ecoland Travel. The central purpose of this journey was to collaborate with, learn from, and support, two mountain communities actively engaged in the conservation of the elusive snow leopard and its spectacular habitats in the Tianshan Mountains of Central Asia.
