Arabian Leopard

Arabian Leopard

by Assouline

Etched into the ancient rock art of AlUla, the Arabian Leopard has been a symbol of strength, freedom, and fearlessness for centuries. Today, the Arabian Leopard is classified as Critically Endangered, with diminishing population numbers attributed to factors such as overhunting and a decline in prey. The Arabian Leopard, written by wildlife conservationist Andrew Spalton, shines a light on these pressing issues and beautifully complements AlUla's tireless conservation efforts to protect this rare and beautiful subspecies.

ARABIAN LEOPARD BY ASSOULINE

Andrew Spalton charts the Arabian Leopard’s epic journey from Africa to Arabia over the course of half a million years, highlighting its history and its current Critically Endangered status. Co-author of The Arabian Leopards of Oman (2014) and holding over thirty years of experience in wildlife conservation, Spalton is highly dedicated to the protection of this rare creature.

ALULA’S CONSERVATION EFFORTS

The Arabian Leopard faces serious extinction without immediate conservation action. In a significant effort to turn the tide, AlUla has undertaken several initiatives to recover the Critically Endangered species - including engaging in a long term partnership with Panthera to ensure that the leopards persist in the wild by 2030. Find out more about AlUla's conservation efforts below.
