Snow Leopards with Dan O'Neill

The programme is presented in two parts, with the first episode following biologist and naturalist Dan O'Neill as he embarks on a mission to safeguard the snow leopard, one of the planet's most elusive mammals. He works to protect the cat in its high‑altitude habitat, across remote mountain ranges.

The show is presented as the first instalment of a two‑part series. It is formatted as an episode‑style programme that follows a single narrative thread, introducing viewers to the central figure and his objective. The focus is on biologist and naturalist Dan O’Neill, whose work forms the backbone of the story. In this opening segment, Dan O’Neill embarks on a clear‑cut mission: to safeguard one of the planet’s most hard‑to‑spot animals, the snow leopard. The episode tracks his determination to protect the species, highlighting the creature’s reputation for elusiveness and the importance of his conservation effort. The programme’s structure sets the stage for a continuation in the second part, signalling that the story will unfold over two episodes. By concentrating on Dan’s pursuit, the series underscores the challenges inherent in defending an animal that is rarely seen. It frames the snow leopard not only as a symbol of wilderness but also as a focal point for the biologist’s broader commitment to wildlife protection.
