With a total population of 30-35 individuals, the Amur leopard, or Far Eastern leopard, is one of the most - if not the most - endangered large cats on earth.

The ALTA Amur Leopard Conservation website provides information about the Amur leopard and about leopard conservation projects implemented by the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance (ALTA). ALTA has decided to dedicate this website to the Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) because it receives, in general, much less attention than its famous cousin, the Amur tiger!
More videos are available in the Galleries section of the website. Be sure to check out the photos too!
ALTA
Significant progress in conserving Amur tigers and leopards has been made over the last decade. A coalition of 13 international and Russian NGOs have pooled resources by creating ALTA (the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance). ALTA members have been co-operating for many years in developing, financing and implementing conservation projects in Russia and China.More about ALTA Download ALTA Leaflet

“Biting Back” bars - chocolate with a conscience!
Chokolit’s “Biting Back” campaign is now supporting ALTA. From every milk crunch bar sold, 10 pence is donated to ZSL in support of our Amur leopard and tiger conservation work. Established in 2005 by 14-year-old Louis Barnett, Chokolit now produces a range of chocolate products that are free of palm oil. Expanding palm oil plantations in Indonesia and elsewhere form a major threat to remaining tiger habitat in Southeast Asia.
