We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:

Save The Amur Leopards

Target: Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation
Sponsor: Annelisa Johnson
  • Signatures: 3,800
  • Goal: 10,000
  • Deadline: 10-2-2002
There are only around 30 Amur Leopards left in the wild, and only 10 purebred animals in captivity. Poaching, illegal logging, illegal fires, and a massive proposed agricultural development look set to push this big cat to extinction in the very near future.

The petition will also be sent to 4 other relevent Russian government contacts - please see the 'more information' link for information on this and more on the Amur Leopard.

We only have the animal once in are life time why not keep it around. I don't think we should lose it to people being stupid and also killing it off. This animals deserves to be here as much as we do don't be that person to kill it off. Endanger means going extinct. But extinct means gone forever.

3,765 11:17 pm PST, Dec 23   Rafael Apollo Lido Minnesota United States The Amur leopard may well be one of the least known of the big cats but must be saved at all costs. Why do we have to struggle so to preserve these precious beings when they have been here far longer than we have? It seems we are in a race against time to rescue all these beautiful and magnificent animals. Something must be done.

3,763 11:43 am PST, Nov 28 Ms. Anonymous Kansas United States These magnificent animals have been here millenia longer that we have, but somehow we still manage deplete thier numbers to the brink of extinction in 100,000 years, when they've been here so much longer than us. This isn't right, how can this be happening to my world? Because this is the younger generation's world, and we don't want to end up with a barren wasteland, we need all animals, not just humans. Let us hope and fight to keep these beautiful creatures alive, we all have a voice, let us be heard!

Save The Amur Leopards

Attn: Vladimir Putin


We, the undersigned implore you to take action today to save the Amur Leopard


We wish to register our concern for the Amur Leopard, of which only 20-40 remain in the wild and only 10 purebred animals remain in captivity. Sharing the same habitat of the Siberian Tiger, this sub-species of leopard is by far the largest. It is known for its beautiful spots and long fur reminiscent of a snow leopard.


We beseech you to ensure that the utmost be done to prevent the extinction of the Amur Leopards. We call for:

  • Increased crackdown on illegal poaching.
  • Increased protection and guarding of reserves including a reduction in illegal fires, logging and hunting of the Leopards' prey species.
  • A review of the Tymangan basin cultivation program, to minimise effects on the Leopards, and creation of more reserves, including the joining together of existing reserves.

There is no time to waste. Please take action immediately to help save this great animal!
