| Reintroduction of the Far Eastern Leopard into the Southern Sikhote-Alin Session 5. Reintroduction of Far Eastern Leopards - Creation of a second Population | |
| 2001 Conference Proceeding | |
It is difficult to secure the long-term conservation of this subspecies of leopard without development of a second population of Far Eastern leopards in the Russian Far East. The rationale for creation of a second leopard population in southern Sikhote-Alin is the historical distribution of leopards in this region, and information on persistence of animals in the present, based on interviews of local people. For the reintroduction to be successful, we have to answer one fundamental question: why did the leopard disappear from the southern Sikhote-Alin in the middle of the previous century? |
