Cute leopard cubs caught on camera 🐆
To acquire accurate data about African leopard populations (and individuals) in northern Kenya, San Diego Zoo Global and our international partners set up trail cameras covering 260 square miles.

San Diego Zoo Global is working closely with local partners—including Loisaba Conservancy, Mpala Research Centre, Kenya Wildlife Service, Laikipia County Government and The Nature Conservancy—on a new initiative to track and research leopard populations in the area, with the aim of preserving the species and maintaining healthy ecosystems.
African leopards are listed as Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Habitat loss and fragmentation, competition for prey, conflict with livestock and farmers, and hunting have reduced the number of leopards throughout Africa, although the total extent of this population decline is still unknown.
