Leopards are protected throughout most of their range in west Asia and show resistance to minor habitat disturbances.
Currently, leopards are protected throughout most of their range in west Asia; however, populations in this part of their range are too small to maintain stable growth.
Although habitat reserves and national parks exist throughout their geographic range in Africa, a majority of leopards live outside these protected areas.
Leopards appear to show some resistance to minor habitat disturbances and are relatively tolerant of humans.
