3,726 7:51 am PDT, May 30 Jessamyn Smallenburg Michigan United States The Amur Leopard is an amazing, graceful, and beautifully fascinating creature that more than deserves our respect and serious protection. I care deeply for these animals, and will do anything to convince those with power over their future to make decisions that will protect these beautiful animals! STOP illegal logging and poaching, and impose harsh fines and punishments on those who break the law! Criminals who are jeopardizing this species' survival deserve punishment!

3,720 6:12 am PDT, May 29 Shroedinger Watcher   United Kingdom I know for a fact the leopards are one of the animals in danger because the Russian government has cut funding to protect them. A group of people who are dedicated to stop scumbag poachers had their support cut off a while back. This personally angers me. Its just more corrupt officials not giving a damn about anything but money. And there the fact these poachers are allowed to continue their sick trade WITHIN Russia and related locations around there.

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!
