Although the leopard ( I Panthera pardus i ) has the widest range of any felid in the world is designated as a vulnerable species, mainly because of human-induced conflict (Jacobson et al., [6]). From these data, we generated population density estimates of 0.74 leopards/100 km SP 2 sp for left-side photos and 1.4 leopards/100 km SP 2 sp for right-side, resulting in a mean estimate of 1.07 leopards/100 km SP 2 sp (Table 1). Count me in: Leopard population density in an area of mixed land-use, Eastern Cape, South Africa Even in areas like the Phinda-Mkhuze Complex in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, which has shown consistently high leopard population densities averaging around 7 leopards/100 km SP 2 sp , leopards show much greater mortality rates near the borders of the protected area compared to the central areas (Balme et al., [2]).
