"It is believed that the Amur leopard can be saved from extinction if the present conversation initiatives are implemented, enhanced and sustained. "-WWF
Amur leopards live up to 10-15 years and adapt to almost any habitat as long as it provides food and shelter. What do they eat for dinner? Well, their main prey are Roe and Sika deers, wild boars and hares.
Today, there are approximately 20-25 Amur leopards living in Russia and 7-12 in China. These numbers are slowly dwindling and the Amur leopard is critically endangered. The main reason why these animals are endangered is because of the major factor that affects everyone: habitat loss. From 1970-1983, these leopards lost a breathtaking 80% of their territory due to logging, farming and natural things such as forest fires.
These leopards are also being HUNTED for their beautiful spotted furs. Can you believe this? We need to put an end to this. NOW!
