In addition to his numerous projects, Martin Köppert has been working on two extensive long-term documentary projects for the past two years, which will continue for another five to six years:
The Amazon Rainforest
The world's largest tropical rainforest spans across nine South American countries. Martin Köppert is dedicated to intensively documenting various regions of this unique ecosystem, capturing its breathtaking flora and fauna. So far, he has explored seven of the nine Amazonian countries, with a particular focus on Brazil, which contains the largest portion of this vast natural expanse. His work aims to highlight the mesmerizing landscapes, incredible biodiversity, threats to the rainforest, and the people who call it home.
The Snow Leopard in Central Asia
One of the most fascinating yet elusive predators on Earth, the snow leopard, inhabits the high mountain ranges of Central Asia. Martin Köppert has taken on the ambitious goal of documenting the habitats of this mysterious creature, including the biomes it shares with other wildlife species. The snow leopard is found across more than seven mountain regions and twelve countries in Central Asia, of which he has extensively explored three so far. This long-term study seeks not only to showcase the endangered habitat of this big cat but also to shed light on the fragile balance of entire ecosystems in the high mountains.
