| The status and conservation of the leopard in Sub-Saharan Africa | |
| 1977 Full Book | |
The status of the leopard in Sub-Saharan Africa is reviewed and evaluated. The results of a study of the leopard's status in a dozen major countries of Sub-Saharan Africa are presented. Population estimates of the leopard are made. The leopard is not (nor was) endangered or threatened in the majority of Sub-Saharan Africa. It may easily number one million and in most of its range has a satisfactory and promising status. Recommendations are made regarding utilization of the leopard as a valuable resource for creating incentives to conserve wildlife in developing countries. It is in the interest of African wildlife generally and the leopard importation of legally acquired trophies, thereby benefiting conservation efforts in Africa. Emphasis need be placed on a system of regulating a potentially beneficial fur-trade. |
