Arnett, G.R.
Threatened Status for the Leopard in Southern Africa (Endangered and threatened wildlife and plants - Federal Register / Rules and Regulations)
1982 Full Book
The Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, hereby issues a rulemaking which reclassifies certain African populations of the leopard as Threatened rather than Endangered. All leopard populations occurring to the south of a line running along the border of the following countries are reclassified as Threatened: Gabon / Rio Muni; Gabon / Cameroon; Congo / Cameroon; Congo / Central African Republic; Zaire / Central African Republic; Zaire / Sudan; Uganda / Sudan; Kenya / Sudan; Kenya / Ethiopia; Kenya / Somalia. A special rule is promulgated that allows for the importation of a sport-hunted leopard trophy legally taken anywhere in Africa south of this line under the terms and conditions imposed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
