“Amur leopards now number more than 100 for first time in decades, say experts.
The cats remain highly endangered in eastern Russia but the latest population estimates for the species are encouraging.
Twenty years ago there were a mere 30 Amur leopards living in the wild, and scientists feared they were on the brink of extinction.
But now there are celebrations in the Land of the Leopard Nature Reserve, as results of the 2017 monitoring showed a significant growth in number of predators.
It is now believed there are 84 adult Amur leopards in the wild.
In addition, there are seven adolescent big cats and 12 cubs.”
