| 2003 Full Book | |
The ultimate goal of a 2003 winter survey of Far Eastern leopards is to assess the current status of Far Eastern leopard subspecies across its entire existent range in the Russian Far East. This methodology used should provide a means of comparing new information with past surveys, provide a means of assessing conservation measures programs, and provide an "early warning system" in the event of rapid changes in leopard numbers. Specifically, this survey should achieve the following objectives: 1. Determine status of Far Eastern leopard population. 2. Determine numbers of leopards based on an expert assessment. 3. Better define range of Far Eastern leopards. 4. Develop a track abundance estimate that will provide estimates of relative abundance. 5. Assess relative abundance of key prey species. 6. Assess importance of different land ownerships for Far Eastern leopards. 7. Assess reproductive status of leopards. 8. Assess competition with tigers. |
