| Leopards in Western Turkey | |
| 1977 Oryx (14): 26-30 | |
The leopard _Panthera pardus tulliana _survives in south-west Turkey, but after a two-month survey there for the World Wildlife Fund, the author shows that numbers are so smal and the people's attitudes so hostile that this subspecies is probably doomed to extinction; leopards found in eastern Turkey are the Persian subspecies _saxicolor._ Other large predators are disappearing too, and the author urges the need to establish several large reserves, for which the Turkish Government's planned wildlife survey will provide the data. |
