Save Loeperds
Petitioning: Save Loeperds
Petitioner: Meenakshi started on December 30, 2010
With only a few left remaining in the wild due to logging, farming, building and poaching- this beautiful species is on a harsh road to extinction if there is not any action done immediately.
This is my petition to try and push for more conservation efforts for these beautiful, majestic creatures. If I meet the signature goal, I could get these cats the media attention they need and deserve to have so that more people may be educated on their critical endangerment.
In 2008, the IUCN classified leopards as Near Threatened, stating that they may soon qualify for the Vulnerable status due to habitat loss and fragmentation, heavy poaching for the illegal trade of skins and body parts in Asia, and persecution due to conflict situations. They are becoming increasingly rare outside protected areas. The trend of the population is decreasing.
There is still hope to save them. We can save the Loeperds; most importanly we need to make people aware of the situation the Leopards are in and their extreme danger of extinction.
Please don't let these gorgeous creatures disappear! Something must be done!
