Amur Leopard
The Amur leopard is poached for its beautiful, spotted fur, making it the most critically endangered of all the leopards. Because agriculture and villages typically surround the forests where these leopards live, they are easily accessible to hunters.
The best way to help keep these precious animals alive is by refusing to buy illegal wildlife products, becoming an advocate for rangers on the front lines, spreading awareness to others, and urging our government to continue to push the end of wildlife crime in the U.S. and abroad.
