This event is held every year in the framework of nature protection campaign launched by the Eurasian and European Associations of Zoos to preserve the population of the Far Eastern leopard.
The program of the event includes fancy-dress party and various contests with awards and presents.
On the Day of the Far Eastern leopard, the Moscow zoo visitors will hear stories about these endangered species, and the children will participate in various thematic games and contests.
Only 30 species of the Far Eastern leopard remained on Earth, and the authorities plan to build an oil pipeline that passes through the territory where they live," said the press service official.
He added that three Far Eastern leopards are kept in the Volokolamsk (Moscow region) breeding nursery, which is part of the Moscow Zoo.
