Some article on problems Pacific pipeline project will cause to Amur Leopard

But Alexander fears the Pacific pipeline project would cause irreparable damage. "The population in this area would increase several times," he says. "That means many more poachers; more people straying into the reserve. With a new industrial zone on our doorstep, this area would be impossible for us to protect." [1]

The article leopard talks about this species under the name Panthera pardus amurensis. What is the correct name for the subspecies, amurensis or orientalis?

[edit] Also confused

What is it then amurensis or orientalis???

[edit] Orientalis

According to the Amur Leopard Conservation Support Programme it is orientalis not amurensis.

Amur Leopard Conservation Support Programme

This Amur Leopard Conservation Support Programme has grown out of the increasing coordination of the conservation work for Amur leopards between several key organizations – namely The Tigris Foundation, The Zoological Society of London, Moscow Zoo, Phoenix, AMUR and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). This group, along with additional funding partners, has formed the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance and is working hard to increase public awareness of and political support for the conservation of both the Amur leopard and the Amur tiger. The Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance (ALTA) has produced an information sheet (PDF 1.21Mb) with lots of information about the activities in progress to secure a future for both leopards and tigers in the Amur region. The latest ALTA Newsletter (January 2007) is also now available (PDF 642Kb).

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWS: Photo in the News: World's Rarest Big Cat Captured

November 16, 2006

In the remote forests of southeastern Russia, scientists have captured what's believed to be the rarest big cat on Earth: a Far Eastern leopard. The animal is so scarce that only 30 are thought to survive in the wild. The team, led by biologists from the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society, caught the 100-pound (45-kilogram) male in a snare last week while studying Siberian tigers in the Russian Far East, 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the Chinese border (See Russia map). The chance capture gave biologists a priceless opportunity to study the elusive feline, and Melody Roelke (below), a specialist in big-cat genetics with the U.S. National Institutes of Health, wasn't shy about getting a closer look. She and other team members conducted a thorough series of tests on the leopard, from studying its teeth to collecting sperm samples, before releasing the animal back into the wild. Among the scientists' main concerns is whether Far Eastern leopards, also known as Amur leopards, can continue to sustain their tiny, isolated population, or whether disease and inbreeding may eventually wipe out the cats. "This capture represents a milestone in our cooperative efforts to save the Far Eastern leopard and Siberian tiger from extinction," said Dale Miquelle, director of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Russia Program, in a statement. "With the information gained from these animals, and others to come, we will be in a much better position to determine appropriate conservation actions." —Blake de Pastino • More Photos in the News • Today's 15 Most Read Stories • Free Email Newsletter: Focus on Photography Photographs courtesy John Goodrich/Wildlife Conservation Society
