Amur Leopard is the rarest large cat in the world, there are only 57 left now. It is increasing from 30 in 2007 to 57 in now though. Why are they endangered?
Problem
The Amur Leopard is endangered because they are poached for their skin, the pictures in the left shows that an amur leopard is poached illegally by the poachers, their skin was sold about $500 to $1,000 in the village of Barabash, it is a serious problem because it is the economy for the village, so it is hard to change the solution.
Another reason of Amur Leopard endangered is because their habitat lost. Many of Amur leopard’s habitat is destroyed by people because they are building roads and cutting down trees through the forests. Sometimes wild fire also cause habitat lost.
Solution
The wwf (world wildlife fund) pass law to to stop the russian government to build roads through the forest, and lobbied the Russian government to reroute a planned oil pipeline that would have endangered the leopard’s habitat.
