2/2 There's a growing realisation & awareness that, despite their adaptability, leopards are in trouble range-wide. May the enthusiasm for these apex predators go further than pretty pics online, & translate into support for org's dedicated to leopards &real conservation impacts.
1/2 May 3rd was #InternationalLeopardDay, &the Global @LeopardConf proudly added our voice to the worldwide movement celebrating these magnificent big cats. Judging by the sheer number of posts on social media & online platforms, the spotty felines are extremely popular indeed!⬇
It's #InternationalLeopardDay & we are thrilled to celebrate our users documenting these elusive cats using the SOLARIS WEAPON 4K whose data feeds into research for protecting leopards & safeguarding communities.
Kudos to all our users and the leopards they protect!
The leopard. Charismatic, elusive, mysterious, regal.. Master of stealth &disguise, supremely powerful, & utterly beautiful.. Apex predator; keystone species for ecosystem health; umbrella species for biodiversity protection; flagship species for conservation &education..
1/4 🧵
Leopards are among the most adaptable big cats, known for their stealth, resilience, and remarkable versatility, found across dense forests and rugged mountains to grasslands and human settlements.
With their publication, the Big Cats Magazine, #SankalaFoundation, in collaboration with the International Big Cat Alliance, shares stories that amplify conservation voices and strengthen collective efforts to protect the seven big cats and their habitats.
On International Leopard Day, the focus moves beyond survival to the balance that makes coexistence possible.
Because saving leopards means saving ecosystems.

Sound on 🔊 A big male African leopard rasps at the old Pakuba Pool ruins in Murchison Falls NP, marking his territory in one of the park’s richest areas.
Captured in crisp 4K on our SOLARIS trail camera, that's perfect for ID, research, and sharing wildlife stories worldwide.
Here are three of the smallest leopard cubs that were captured on the PPP camera traps. These images were captured in 2020 & we are delighted that two of the three leopards shown here, are still alive.
Cub mortality in leopards is extremely high due to a variety of reasons.
Conflict btwn farmers & predators is a tough issue that affects farmers’ livelihoods & threatens vital wildlife. The @CapeLeopardTrst in collab w @StellenboschUni recently published a study that set out to understand farmers’ experiences… https://t.co/yENyiAMHv8
