Rural life on film

Shepherd Suo Ri speaks to a wild snow leopard, the animal he has been following for five years.

"Years ago, I had more than 200 sheep but now there are only 60 left," Suo says. "I don't kill you because I know you have two kids to feed, just like I have my sons and daughters to raise."

Living in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Suo is one of the people who have recorded their daily lives as part of a documentary project. The project is co-founded by Tianjin TV station, the United Nations Development Program China and Shanshui Conservation Center. It equips people in rural areas with cameras, allowing them to film their daily lives.
