The animal advocates plan to raise up to $ 32,000 year-end to protect
from poachers just 20 copies Caucasus leopard living in the mountains
of Armenia, according to a World Land Trust Fund (WLT).
A mid-century Armenia had a sizeable population of this animal,
but today the country has more than 15 specimens of the species.
Poaching the animal did not cease even after inclusion in the Red
Book of Endangered Species.
"We started a campaign to protect the Caucasus leopard in Armenia until
the end of the year we plan to raise $ 32,400," says the note WLT.
The sum, among other things, provides for the creation of a "migration
corridor" for the leopard to allow free travel between Armenia to
Azerbaijan and then to Iran.
In the collection of $ 32,000 can participate every advocate or
endangered animal lover. To do this, you must visit the Fund's website
(worldlandtrust.org) and make a donation.
