New pictures from camera traps, set up during the November CADI-expedition, verify: The Persian leopard is still living in the Ustyurt Nature Reserve and obviously is in good condition!
The CADI-team is preparing the grounds for putting the Persian leopard on the Red List of Threatened Species in Kazakhstan. In addition, it is developing an action plan for the preservation of the leopard in Kazakhstan.
The planned measures to monitor and protect the leopard should not only save this amazingly beautiful and vulnerable species but also create conditions for the preservation of Ustyurt’s unique ecosystem.
