| Conservation Planning Workshops for the Javan leopard (_Panthera pardus melas_) - Final Report | |
| 2020 Full Book | |
The Javan leopard (_Panthera pardus melas_) is endemic to the Indonesian island of Java, where it functions as the top predator. Habitat conversion and fragmentation as well as hunting in this densely human-populated landscape has led to severe population decline and local extinctions in the past two decades, and this subspecies is now listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN. Human-leopard conflicts lead to killing or capture of problem leopards, which can further reduce the viability of these small populations. A governmental national Javan Leopard Conservation Strategy and Action Plan for 2016-2026 has been developed to address this critical situation. The IUCN SSC Conservation Planning Specialist Group was approached to provide species distribution modeling (SDM) and population viability analysis (PVA) modeling to inform decisions that need to be taken to deliver the plan's recommendations, such as meta-population management, priority areas for corridors/buffers, conflict mitigation strategies, ex situ management strategies, and monitoring and research priorities. The conservation planning workshops outlined in this report were conducted on invitation from the Minister of Environment and Forestry of Indonesia. |
