    India's leopard population increased in 4 years since 2014: Javadekar
  • Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on Monday released the Status of Leopards in India 2018 report which states India's leopard population increased from 8,000 to over 12,500 between 2014 and 2018.

    Javadekar asserted this rise in numbers, following similar reports on tigers and lions, shows the country is protecting its ecology and biodiversity.

    Their population was estimated using the camera trapping method.

    What else does the report say?

  • A total of 5,240 adult leopards were identified from a total of 51,337 leopard photographs using pattern recognition software.

    The report also informed that the leopards were estimated across forested habitats in the tiger range areas of the country, but other leopard occupied areas were not sampled. Therefore, the population estimation is considered as a minimum number of leopards in each of the landscapes.

    PM Narendra Modi also appreciated the work being done
