Leopards are often illegally killed for their iconic skins and other body parts, which are widely sought after for religious and ceremonial attire.

Poorly managed trophy hunting in East and Southern Africa is also contributing to, and in some instances directly driving, the decline in leopard populations.

Furthermore, leopards are frequently killed as a result of human-leopard conflict. Unlike other large carnivores, leopards frequently venture outside the borders of protected areas, increasing the likelihood that they will be killed in response to the real and perceived threat they pose to livestock.

Rampant bushmeat poaching is an additional, and rampant, threat facing the leopard. The bushmeat industry depletes leopard prey populations and poses a direct threat to leopards themselves when they are caught and killed in wire snares and traps set for other species.
