As one of the most adaptable cat species on the planet, leopards rarely attract much in the way of conservation concern, but that may be their undoing. In South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province, leopards are protected in reserves but are fair game when they leave the park boundaries; it’s legal for farmers to trap them or for trophy hunters to shoot them. Both forms of persecution occur at very high levels. As leopard populations become increasingly surrounded by farms and other human expansion, authorities are concerned about the number of leopards which are being killed. Reports of lactating females being hunted and of using baits to draw leopards across park boundaries demand urgent attention. If such practices are common, the future of even protected populations may be in jeopardy. (Africa Leopard Project) To find out more about this project, you can visit this site
