Video - Le léopard des neiges sous la menace du changement climatique Une étude du WWF montre que le changement climatique menace directement le léopard des neiges au Népal. Si la croissance des émissions de gaz à effet de serre se maintient, 30% de son habitat naturel dans l'Himalaya pourraient être affectés par la remontée de la limite des arbres. Avez-vous déjà partagé cet article? Partager sur Facebook Partager sur Twitter Le léopard ou panthère des neiges est un symbole. Au Népal, la population atteindrait seulement 500 félins. "Nous savons que les léopards des neiges s'aventurent rarement dans les aires boisées, et qu'il y a une limite d'altitude qu'ils ne franchissent pas. Une coopération transfrontalière indispensable Pour arriver à de telles prédictions, les chercheurs ont déployé un système de modélisation par ordinateur, associé à des relevés sur le terrain en haute altitude. Dans un premier temps, les chercheurs ont donc utilisé les données de terrain et les relevés topographiques pour établir une carte de l'habitat actuel du léopard des neiges.
Why Snow Leopards Need Help NOTE: This is a guest post from Brad Rutherford. He has been the executive director of the Snow Leopard Trust since 2000 and recently returned from a visit to the Snow Leopard Enterprises project in Mongolia. This blog post is in response to the comments left by the public following his September 22nd post. Thank you to everyone who posted a comment in response to my blog post on September 22nd. The photo we included by Jason Brown is one of my personal favorites, and I certainly do feel blessed to be able to work on behalf of such a gorgeous animal. Snow Leopards (Panthera uncia) are found in the mountains of 12 countries in Central Asia; Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. But even with all that space, scientists agree that there are only between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards left in the wild. One last bit of exciting news.
Saving Mongolia's Snow Leopards NOTE: This is a guest post from Brad Rutherford, the Executive Director of the Snow Leopard Trust since 2000. He recently returned from a visit to the Snow Leopard Enterprises project in Mongolia. For generations snow leopards have been seen as an enemy by herders across the mountains of Mongolia. However, this all started to change in 1998 when two researchers sat down with herders and really tried to understand the challenges facing these rural families who share the land with snow leopards. But the idea really took off. Each fall, Snow Leopard Trust staff place an order for thousands of products to be made by the herders. I took a trip to the West of Mongolia this month to personally see how the program is working, and it was a truly incredible experience. Throughout history, conservation has always been focused on preventing a behavior. Photo credit: Jason Brown
India acts to save Asiatic lion by moving it – but hard work has only just begun | Kavitha Rao | Environment Male and female Asiatic lions drink water in Gir Forest National Park, the threatened species' current habitat. Photograph: Nisarg Lakhmani/Corbis Wildlife is under threat in most of India, but there's one state that's clinging to its fauna, if rather too tightly. The state of Gujarat – whose Gir forest shelters the world's only Asiatic lion population – has lost a bitter battle over an ambitious translocation project. For over 18 years, conservationists have been attempting to move a pride of Gir lions to the Kuno sanctuary in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Finally, on 15 April, after eight years of litigation, the Supreme Court of India cleared the translocation of the lions, though it said an emphatic no to the cheetahs. The Gujarat government, and Chief Minister Narendra Modi, have been arguing for years that the Gir lions are the "pride of the state". "The Gir conservation project has staved off extinction and helped increase population.
1 million to ban the lion trade -- Big win in court!! 593,075 have signed. Help us get to 1,500,000 Update: 31 October 2013 Amazing win! Update: 7 February 2013 The South African airport authority (ACSA) refused to put our ads back up and, since their censorship violates our free speech rights under the South African constitution, we've taken them to court! Hundreds of South African lions are being slaughtered to make bogus sex potions for men. A global ban on tiger bone sales has traders hunting a new prize -- the majestic lions. If we can show President Zuma that this brutal trade is hurting South Africa's image as a tourist destination, he could ban the trade in lion bones.

Pour les lions : Stop à la chasse aux trophées ! Le lion disparait d’Afrique à vitesse grand V avec une chute de 90% de sa population au cours des quatre dernières décennies. Son habitat naturel est toujours plus détruit et fragmenté. Et les chasseurs de trophées continuent de tuer les animaux par milliers. Lettre Aux présidents de l’Afrique du Sud, de la Tanzanie, du Zimbabwe et de la Zambie L’Afrique a perdu 90% de ses lions en seulement quatre décennies. Afficher la lettre de pétition Les lions étaient 10 fois plus nombreux en Afrique il y a 40 ans : 200.000 lions autrefois contre à peine plus de 20.000 aujourd’hui, soit une chute de 90% de leur population. Le lion est menacé à cause de l’incessante destruction et fragmentation de son habitat naturel. La chasse aux trophées constitue une autre menace sérieuse pour les lions, notamment en Afrique du Sud, en Tanzanie, au Zimbabwe et en Zambie où de riches touristes sont prêt à payer des fortunes pour avoir le « privilège » de tirer le « roi des animaux ».

Non à l’éradication du lynx avec la complicité de l’Administration Les lynx sont en danger en France car leur population compte moins de 120 individus adultes. C’est pourquoi le Centre Athénas agit depuis 30 ans en soignant et en relâchant les lynx blessés et les jeunes orphelins dont la mère a été victime de braconnage. En 2018, à la demande de Nicolas Hulot, un Plan National d’Action pour la conservation de cette petite population est en cours d’élaboration. Parallèlement, les chasseurs ont toujours combattu et nié le bien fondé des actions du Centre Athénas et demandent sans relâche un plan de chasse pour tirer sur les lynx. Aujourd’hui, ils souhaitent instaurer un Programme Prédateur Proies (PPP) afin de capturer 10% de la population des lynx, tous les ans, durant 10 ans. Leur but, démontrer à tous prix que les lynx consomment trop de chevreuils et les empêchent d’en chasser autant qu’ils le souhaitent. Après les ours et les loups, les lynx deviennent la nouvelle bête noire des chasseurs.
Préservation de la panthère de Floride et du jaguar Bonjour, Mesdames, Messieurs, √ La panthère de Floride : Cette espèce est gravement menacée. √ Le jaguar : La population des jaguars est en baisse. Mon objectif est de demander aux gouvernements concernés de faire protéger plus intensivement ces deux félins car la situation de ces animaux est plutôt préoccupante. Céline Mairet. texte de la pétition: Big Cats Aren't Pets — It's Time to Ban Private Ownership These days, when you hear the term "big cat," you probably think of a certain popular Netflix show. The series "Tiger King" follows eccentric big cat owner Joe Exotic through his twisting journey from founding a big cat "zoo" in Oklahoma to, spoilers ahead, eventually being arrested and sent to prsion. But if you can believe it, he did not end up there for owning and breeding wild animals. That, sadly, is still widely legal in the U.S. It's currently estimated that there are more than 10,000 big cats, including lions, tigers and leopards, being kept as pets or in roadside zoos in the U.S. While some states have laws banning the private possession of big cats, others have weak or no laws in place at all, leaving them to suffer in any number of situations that can range from simply not meeting their needs to being downright abusive. While the situations they may be kept in vary, none are appropriate for these apex predators. Now, Congress has an opportunity to change that. more
