As a species, the leopard is not considered endangered, but some subspecies, like the Amur leopard, are endangered, even critically so. The Amur leopard is endangered, mainly because of hunting and habitat loss, but leopards as a species are not endangered.
The 2017 IUCN Red List classifies leopards as "Vulnerable" (one step down from "Endangered") with the caveat that the situation with subspecies is under review.
Many folks, nevertheless, feel leopards are "endangered":
We all know that leopards have amazing fur and many business and industries take advantage of such a breath taking creature. If a leopard ever wanders to close to a human village in the wild then it be shot because they are seen as a threat !!!Another big cause is deforestation that is happening in many rain forests and forests , if their habitats are being destroyed then the leopards will have no shelter and could suffer from illneses due to the cold. ALso if their prey is killed out then will not have any supply of food that they need to survrive !!!

Although some races and local populations are in trouble, the leopard is not yet an endangered species.
The leopard is not an endangered species, but some local populations are decreasing, and the Amur leopard is critically endangered, with less than 40 in the wild today.
Loss of habitat threatens leopards, as does poaching.
Although the Snow Leopard is internationally regarded and legally protected as an endangered species, currently there exist no effective measures to stop poaching and loss of habitat in Jammu & Kashmir. The Snow Leopard population of Jammu & Kashmir has increasingly come under pressure as a result of poaching for furs, loss of habitat caused by deforestation and dam projects, and loss of food sources caused by similar environmental pressures. In both Pakistan and India-administered Jammu & Kashmir, this threat to the Snow Leopard has developed.
Only a defined SPECIE can be considered endangered, and baby leopards = leopard cubs, isn't a separate specie. They're simply leopards.
The young of all wild animals have it tough. Between their mother's hunting skills, sickness, and all bigger animals that would either like to eat them or remove some future competition, many of them never reach adulthood.
This makes their lives dangerous, but not endangered. As long as there are enough adult animals there can always be more young animals.
Because humans keep killing them and distroying their habitat.
Their habitat is shrinking due to humans moving closer.
The leopard, Panthera Pardus, is not an endangered species. However, one subspecies, the Amur leopard, is critically endangered.
It is not endangered as a species, only a few subspecies are in trouble, like the Amur leopard, which is down to less than 50 animals.
The Amur leopard is endangered, mainly because of hunting and habitat loss, but leopards as a species are not endangered.
As a species, leopards are not endangered. But many subspecies are. See IUCN Redlist for list of endangered leopard sub species.
As a species leopards are not endangered, but some races are. To see endangered races, check the IUCN Redlist.
Snow leopards were added to the endangered species list in 1972. There are multiple organizations working to conserve the snow leopards natural habitat.
answer this for me why are snow leopards becoming endangered
There is no single species called a black panther. Black panthers may be melanistic (black) jaguars or melanistic leopards. Neither leopards nor jaguars are endangered but are either vulnerable or near threatened.
Well, this depends on what species you're talking here. Snow leopards are a biggie within the Endangered Species Act, same goes for the armur leopard (a subspecies, also known as Siberian leopard, they're critically endangered). If you're talking the common species in general, leopards are listed as "near threatened" on the IUCN Red List.
around 1972
The snow leopard is an endangered species. It is illegal to hunt snow leopards at any time.
Leopards are an endangered species because they are struggling to survive the destruction of their natural habitat. They need a large area for hunting and breeding, and without it their numbers begin to diminish. The leopard, Panthera pardus, is not an endangered species, and is listed as near threatened. But one subspecies, the Amur leopard, panthera pardus orientalis, is critically endangered, with around 30 in the wild.
snow leopards are a very beautiful animal in the Himilayas and is an introduced species. It is hard to get footage of itAlternate answer:Snow leopards are native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. Since they are native to these areas, they are not an introduced species. Snow leopards are an endangered species and they tend to be very elusive creatures.
There are many things that can cause an ecosystem to become endangered. When an ecosystem and the species in that ecosystem become endangered, it is known as a hotspot.
They were both hunted for their beautiful spotted coats, however, neither cat is an endangered species.
