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.

Persian Leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor)

From Project Future4Leopards, 01 Aug. '17: Leopard rediscovered
Heydari Wildlife Refuge is an important habitat for Urial wild sheep in northeastern Iran, near the city of Neyshabour. However, more than a decade has passed since the last evidence of a leopard was found there. That was in 2005, when a leopard was filmed by a group of foreign trophy hunters, but it has never been filmed since. In 2013 we conducted a quick survey in the area, within promising habitats where leopards could be expected. The prey population was depleted and poaching seemed to be a major issue. Not surprisingly, no signs of leopards were detected.

Then, luckily, in 2017 a leopard was reported again in Heydari, and this was supplemented by a picture taken by camera traps set by rangers. The image shows only part of the animal’s body and does not allow a better assessment of the individual’s characteristics, such as age or gender. Nevertheless, it definitely gives hope that bolstering conservation efforts in the area may be able to restore populations of both prey and leopard.
