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.

Panthera pardus. Near Lebala camp in Botswana. This male leopard literally crossed our path. Our guide, Charles, tracked the leopard for over two hours. The leopard had heard calls from a female and was trying to locate her. The specially adapted high clearance vehicle certainly took a bashing as we went deeper and deeper into the bush. We were so lucky to have this sighting in the leopard's true environment. What struck me were the various textures and the restful tonal quality. camp in Botswana.
