Resting leopard

Fortunately, Erindi is focusing efforts on leopard conservation having established The Global Leopard Project in 2007 aimed at increasing our understanding. Unfortunately, leopards are a primary target for trophy hunters and farmers, due to the threat to their livestock, alike. They’re classed as ‘vulnerable’ by the IUCN and have been so since 1986. According to Okonjima’s AfriCat Foundation (more on them later) populations of leopards have dropped from 80,000 to 23,664 in the last 50 years. Erindi is one of the best places to see leopards in Namibia thanks to their healthy population of these animals.
