Save the Amur Leopard
Target:
conservation centers, various media groups, The Russian Government
Sponsored by:
The Amur Leopard, a very rare and critically endangered big cat, is on the verge of extinction!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 second 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.
There are approxiamately only 30 remaining in the wild; only 5-6 of which are female. In captivity, the situation is also very serious, as interbreeding with animals of unknown heritage has affected a large percentage of the captive breeding pool. Because of this, of the 150 remaining in captivity, only 12 are purebreds.
There has been very little research done to protect the Amur Leopard and it has been virtually ignored.
There is still hope to save them. We can make similar steps that were made to save the Siberian Tiger; most importanly we need to make people aware of the situation the Amur Leopards are in and their extreme danger of extinction.
Please don't let these gorgeous creatures disappear! Something must be done!

We, the signers, are desperately asking that more conservation efforts are made to save the Amur Leopards from extinction.
There is still hope to save them. We can make similar steps that were made to save the Siberian Tiger; most importantly we need to make people aware of the situation the Amur Leopards are in and their extreme danger of extinction.
Please don't let these gorgeous creatures disappear! Something must be done!
Thank you for taking the time to hear our concerns.

Please give this incredible animal a chance it is almost too late so we need to hasten action now !! whichever national governments are directly involved need to recognise the Amur Leopard as a symbol of national pride for the politicians and ordinary people that they may feel a relevant connection with this essential form of conservation. It is also essential that all other nations recognise what a loss to this earth it would be without the Amur Leopard living in its own natural habitat.On that basis I am urging all to support this cause and urge my own British and all other countries' government ,conservation organisations and media outlets to facilitate in any way all positive action in furthering the cause of the Amur Leopard and its viable survival in its own natural habitat. Humanity should heed well and understand the mechanisms of extinction and with that knowledge would do well to avoid those perils at all costs. from Polite Paul and the Uno Mundo Family

Please... I'm only 13, and things aren't looking so good for my natural future anyway, what with global warming and pollution as it is. Please don't deny me the right to see Earth's beauty as it should be, and not interfered with humans' so-called "improvement". I am planning to start a wildcat refuge when I am older, but if things continue as they are, there may not be any wildcats left to save. Please help me, and all the other young people like me, live to see the day when humans coexist with these magnificent creatures. Thanks for listening, and hopefully caring.

How could we let this happen all we humans care about now days is oil, have we no sence of moral and/or shame. This is absoulutly befuddling! But I suppose their beauty is their downfall. can people go without their leopard eyes for medicine for just one year? No, I suppose they just have to have their leopard tartar with caviar and truffles!!!!!!

We need the beauty of cats and other animals who have taught us so much about living on this planet. We should do everything we can to protect them!
