Bhupender Yadav Releases Report on Status of Leopards in India
Shri Bhupender Yadav, in collaboration with the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) and Wildlife Institute of India, unveiled the fifth cycle of leopard population estimation in India. The report sheds light on the status and trends of leopard populations across various landscapes amidst escalating threats.
Population Estimate: India’s leopard population is estimated at 13,874, showcasing stability compared to the previous estimate. However, this represents only 70% of leopard habitat, with the Himalayas and semi-arid regions not sampled.

Protected Areas: The study emphasizes the crucial role of protected areas in conserving leopard populations, with tiger reserves serving as important strongholds.
Collaborative Efforts: Effective conservation requires collaborative efforts involving government agencies, conservation organizations, and local communities to enhance habitat protection and mitigate human-wildlife conflict.
