Today the family members, colleagues, teachers and Snow Leopard Trust paid tribute to the late biologist and leopard researcher T.Lkhagvasumberel and kindled an offering lamp.
During the event, "The 2015 Helen Freeman Award" is awarded to the former biologist and conservation ranger at Snow Leopard Conservation Foundation of Mongolia T.Lkhagvasumberel for his contributions to protecting the snow leopards of Mongolia.
It was emphasized that he was doing research works acknowledged not only in Mongolia but also in the world. His research were presented while his colleagues, teachers and researchers discussed on how to continue the research and to achieve results.
Science and Conservation Director of the Snow Leopard Trust Charudutt Mishra stated;
"I have worked with Sumbee for many years. I was cooperating with him and giving advice to his research. He was such a nice and funny man to work with. In some ways, he was my teacher. He used to teach me the desert plants and animals.
Last year, I have visited at his family in Huvsgul aimag and it was an amazing. He was loyal, honest and hardworking. A man who puts his all efforts and hearts to work as him is very rare. We were talking about conducting research in other countries and earning PhD degree.
His death is great loss for both Mongolia and the world. I would like to say again that Sumbee was a star who was shining and progressing.
Most importantly, his works will be continued in further. We will continue what we had planned to accomplish. Tost, Tosonbumba area should be conserved and the Government of Mongolia and the public can solve this issue."
Snow leopard is endangered species. Due to it lives hidden from the human, it is difficult to conduct research. T.Lkhagvasumberel started his research in 2008 and worked as main researcher since 2010 at the Snow Leopard Conservation Foundation of Mongolia. His research work was more efficient than previous studies, mentioned his colleagues.
His colleagues said that it takes a lot of time to prepare knowledgeable and sensitive researcher like Sumbee.
