LEOPARDS are one of the most neglected and persecuted big wild cat species across the Middle East, Central Asia, Eurasia, China, South and South-East Asia that deserve serious transcontinental conservation initiative and support.
The World Wide Fund for Nature 2018 big wild cat poster has clearly identified that various subspecies of leopards distributed across the continents of Asia and Africa are showing an alarming decline in their population numbers; and some subspecies are believed to have already gone extinct across the sub-Saharan and North African region as well as around the Middle East.
