ADOPT A LEOPARD
The Armenian Highland is a habitat of the endangered species of the Persian or the Caucasian Leopard (Panthera pardus tulliana). The Caucasian Leopard had been quite commonly spread in Armenia. However, over years, hunting this animal had become so extensive that the Leopard was on the brink of extinction already in 1987.
Adopt a Leopard and help us reintroduce them in Armenia.
Let’s bring them back home together!

ADOPT A LEOPARD, SUPPORT OUR WORK!
Presently, the king of Armenian mountains, the Caucasian Leopard, is included in the Red Data Book of Armenia (2010) with the status of the «critically endangered». In Armenia, the number of these animals ranges less than 10 individuals and across the world it is estimated at less than 1,000 mature individuals.
To survive and to propagate itself, the Leopard needs to have safe biological environment, free and safe migration corridors to move around and, undoubtedly, sufficient nutritive base. These are the conditions that WWF Armenia is striving to improve.
Join us to protect the critically endangered Caucasian Leopard. Together, we can secure a safer future for these majestic creatures and preserve Armenia’s rich biodiversity.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LEOPARD
The Caucasian Leopard prefers habitats such as subalpine meadows, mixed forests, rocky slopes, and mountain steppes, avoiding urban areas and long-duration snow cover.
Since December 2018, young male Leopard named Neo has set its basic residence at the Khosrov Forest State Reserve. In the recent years, apparent presence of the animal in our country is the outcome of many years of hard and dedicated work.
