The Amur leopard is considered to be one of the most critically endangered big cats in the world, with roughly 30-40 individuals remaining in the wild. Habitat loss and hunting (for trophies and use in traditional medicines) are the biggest threats to Amur leopards in the wild.
The Amur leopard has been a protected species in Russia since 1956, but poaching is still a problem. Conservation efforts in the wild for these animals include anti-poaching patrols, customs control, fighting forest fires, environmental education programmes and working closely with local communities.

This is Tang - the beautiful 15 year-old snow leopard at the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts. She was actually fairly close - it is hit or miss with her, since she usually sleeps way high up on the rocks. Needless to say, I was thrilled to see her, although I could not get her to look at the camera - silly cat!

December 2013. We thought we 4 had lucked-out to have this beauty all to ourselves for half an hour but our pleasure was doubled when a 2nd Leopard appeared and they began to play. Our guide told us that they were nearly independant cubs, This one is looking well-fed.
Phinda have been running a 10 year project with the Leopards which is why you see this big male with a tracking collar. According to our tracker the information they have gathered is immense. Here's hoping it is put to good use protecting these magnificent animals.
Got to see the two snow leopards at the zoo out and about for once! Haven't been since they got the ale and usually the female was hiding in some spot that allowed you to only see her paw or nose.
this girl was seen near the Karavoogaswala - mada para. It jumped right in front of our jeep and vanished in a second
