| Strategy for conservation of the far eastern leopard in Russia | |
| 1999 Full Book | |
The Far Eastern leopard _Panthera pardus orientalis_ is recognized as a critically endangered subspecies. During an international conference held in Vladivostok in 1996, a group of specialists discussed the status of the Far Eastern leopard and devised a comprehensive conservation plan to ensure the survival of the Far Eastern leopard in the wild (Miquelle et al. 1996). This plan was adapted and approved by the State Committee of the Russian Federation on Environmental Protection in 1998 (Danilov-Danilyan 1998). The present plan is the final version approved by the State Committee of the Russian Federation on Environmental Protection and includes a detailed status report with an analysis of threats. Goals and objectives for the survival of a self-sustaining leopard population in its natural habitat are formulated. Seven objectives of leopard protection are identified: 1) First steps 2) Nature use in leopard habitat 3) Establishment of a network of protected areas 4) Captive breeding 5) Reintroduction 6) Monitoring of leopard numbers and habitat conditions 7) Environmental education and public awareness. |
