| The leopard _Panthera pardus_ surveys in the Artvin province, north-eastern Turkey | |
| 2010 Full Book | |
The Artvin province is known to hold one of the latest reliable leopard records in Turkey, a skin which was harvested in 1999. Surveys were performed in the Yusufeli county by walking the ridges of southern slopes. We did not find evidence of leopards during the surveys, but that may arise from non-detection at real presence as we definitley spent too little time in the mountains. As a conclusion, the Yusufeli County should be thoroughly and regularly studied in order to better understand the leopard status and develop urgent conservation measures in this area. |
