Although covid-19 ceased many activities across the world, our conservation work could not afford any pause. During 2020, our team had 12 expeditions to six different reserves in Iran to work closely with rangers and communities for saving leopards and their habitats. Although all our team members in Iran got covid-19, but they all recovered and were able to carry on their conservation tasks. Importantly, fortified by the covid-19 pandemic, our team provided online training courses for rangers and conservation practitioners. A total of three online events were organized, attended by cumulative number of 425 people.
