| The leopard population on DÂsternbrook game farm: a pilot study | |
| 2011 Full Book | |
The leopard (_Panthera pardus_) is a large, primarily nocturnal felid that is adapted to survive in a range of habitats, with a distribution over much of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia (Alderton 1998). Although its wide distribution means the leopard is not globally endangered, regional populations and subspecies are currently at risk from habitat loss and persecution on farmlands that suffer from livestock depredation (Alderton 1998; Marker & Dickman 2005). To support management strategies that can reduce the conflict between leopards and humans, more research is needed to better understand leopard ecology at a smaller scale and to develop methods for the continued monitoring of local populations. |
