There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

"Another conservation tragedy happened before yesterday in Luntukulu, in Walungu , South Kivu region, when a male leopard was sighted around the villages. Villagers tried to get in its way and in the struggle to break free from the mob, the leopard injured at least five men. At this stage no one knows where the leopard may have come from but the territory of Walungu borders with the Kahuzi Biega National Park. In a blink of an eye, the animal was killed, its paws cut off and teeth plucked out. There is a theory that leopards paws, teeth , skin, bones and even meat have superstitious powers. Human-animal conflicts are real and slowly becoming rife in the Kivu area where this year alone, two weeks ago a third hippo was gunned down in Uvira by members of the DRC army and three gorillas killed for food by rebels in North Kivu. As the world preaches the gospel of fighting extinction, seemingly the battle is being lost at grassroots level. Organisations such as Conserv Congo stands firmly against this type of barbaric and irresponsible behaviour and calls upon local authorities not only to take action against the culprits but also to sensitise masses on the gains of protecting our natural heritage."

I don't like seeing these kind of photos but they must be shared because this is a crime that needs to be highlighted.

Leopard with Waterbuck kill.

This is in Garamba National Park, Democratic Republic of Congo. 

The park is considered as the Guinean-Congo savanna mosaic, so I guess this Leopard counts as a rainforest Leopard.
