Conservation For Amur Leopard
Aug 30, 2010
Conservation Of Amur Leopard
There are only a few Amur leopards remaining in the wild due to logging, farming, building and poaching. 20-30 in Russia, 10 in China. Amur leopard suffers daily risks from: poaching (and poaching of their prey, like deer), forest-fires which reduce their habitat, enraged farmers when livestock killed by tigers and leopards.
There still exist large tracts of forest which are ideal leopard habitat. If these areas are protected from logging companies there is a chance to increase wild leopard numbers. However, the Amur leopard lost 80% of its range in the 13 years from 1970-1983 and logging isn’t the only threat to the Amur leopard habitat.
