Reaction to People




The leopard is no danger to people. Over the past 50 years there have been no registered cases of unprovoked attacks by leopards on people. There have been just a few cases where a wounded and hunted animal attacked someone. The leopard, having keen eyesight and hearing, detects the presence of humans and cautiously leaves (even if it is feeding), usually remaining un-

1.5 Existing Conservation Measures

The leopard is listed in the Red Book (of endangered species) of the Russian Federation, hunting the leopard has been banned since 1956, and in 1966 a ban on trapping live animals was introduced. It is also included in the Red List of IUCN The World Conservation Union and in Appendix 1 of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

The Kedrovaya Pad Zapovednik, located in the leopard's habitat, was created in 1916 with an area of 17,900 hectares, where all hunting and economic activity is prohibited; but the role of the reserve in the preservation of the leopard has been small, due to its small size. In 1979 the Barsovy Zakaznik was created at the federal level, especially for the protection of the leopard; but it has two military testing grounds within its borders, as well as intensive economic activity. In 1996, a regional reserve was created, the Borisovskoyc plateau, partially encompassing the outer portion of the leopard's habitat, and playing a very limited role in the animal's protection. All hunting is prohibited in these reserves, and economic activity is limited.

An executive group of the Tiger division of the Primorski Krai Conservation Committee is working in the leopard's habitat, as well as an executive group of the Primorski Krai Hunting Directorate, and hunters of the Nezhinskoye, Borisovskoye, Slavyanskoye, Fauna, Khasan-skoye, and Pavlinovskoye hunting organizations. Russian government decree No. 795, dated August 7 1995, On the protection of the Amur tiger and other rare species of animals and plants threatened with extinction in the Primorski and Khabarovsk Krais serves as a basis for the adoption of additional measures for the protection of the leopard.
