These solitary cats are top predators, and they play an important role in maintaining a healthy balance of species in their habitat. Conservation of Amur leopard habitat also benefits other species, including tigers. WWF works with local communities and other partners to monitor populations, stop poaching, and protect leopard habitat. |
