| Monitoring for the Conservation of the Leopard in the Caucasus Ecoregion | |
| 2011 Full Book | |
The Persian leopard _Panthera pardus saxicolor_ is the most prominent flagship species of the Caucasus Ecoregion. A _Strategy for the Conservation of the Leopard in the Caucasus Ecoregion_ was developed in 2007 and is now being implamented through National Actions Plans. Monitoring is an important requirement of the _Strategy_ and the NAPs. A group of 31 leopard experts and wildlife researchers and conservationists met from 16-19 May 2011 in Tbilisi, Georgia, to discuss the monitoring at national and ecoregional scale. The Goal of the workshop was to agree on a simple and feasible plan for a monitoring scheme for leopards, co-predators and prey for the entire Caucasus Ecoregion. Specific Objectives were (1) review and discuss monitoring methods. (2) Review monitoring concepts and methods applied for cross-border baseline surveys and monitoring of cats. (3) Outline a practical, standardised and consistent monitoring for the conservation of the leopard in the Caucasus. (4) Define the needs for the implementation of the survey and monitoring plan. |
