Today, in Sri Lanka, 800 leopards live in the wild.
Due to rampant urbanization in Sri Lanka, leopard habitat is shrinking, and across the country, specialists are concerned that their population is being endangered by human activities.
Originally from the north of France, a couple passionate about wildlife came to spend their vacation in this island country in the sole hope of being able to observe it.
In this park renowned for the wealth of its fauna, the two French people first come across elephants, as well as monkeys, crocodiles and birds.
In southern Sri Lanka, Yala Park is one of the best places in the world to observe leopards.
Very quickly, however, the first signs of the presence of a feline appeared on the ground.
At the exit of a bend, a young female finally allows herself to be observed.
In this 1,000 km² reserve, or 10 times the area of Paris, 70 of these wild animals live in freedom.
