TO THE KING OF THE MOUNTAINS OF IRAN,
THE PERSIAN LEOPARD
Foreword

The Persian leopard is one of the rarest subspecies of leopard and the last of the
Panthera genus in Iran. Over the recent years, this subspecies has come under many
challenges for its survival including habitat loss and fragmentation and decline of
prey species, along with overutilization by hunting and poisoning in response to
conflict with livestock farmers. Understanding this apex predator is important
through research and the development of a long-term management plan.
In 2002, Dr. Arezoo Sanei, the book’s Editor, began the long process of research-
ing the Persian Leopard when she was a bachelor student, she completed her
PhD. on the subject in 2018, and is now the Executive Director of the Asian Leopard
Specialist Society since 2010. In 2012, the preparation of the Persian Leopard
National Conservation and Management Action Plan began. And, after extensive
consultative workshops with stakeholders and participatory planning sessions, the
National Action Plan was completed, under the direction of Dr. Arezoo Sanei, the
Executive Director of the National Action Planning Program in 2016. This plan cov-
ers an extensive amount of data and analysis, which has arisen from Dr. Sanei’s
researches and PhD and the precursor to this book.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity, from Namibia and Iran, to work with
Arezoo and the members of the National Action Planning Steering Committee and
other conservation biologists, in their combined efforts to understand all aspects of
the Persian leopard, along with other apex predators, like the endangered cheetah,
identifying threats and opportunities for species survival. Dr. Sanei’s dedication to
the species and the science, which is guiding the process of Persian leopard survival,
is to be commended.
The book comprises two sections, one on research techniques and the other on
management practices. The topics presented in each chapter of the research section
continuously are related to findings and research needs proposed in other chapters
and in previous studies about the Persian leopard. Thus, step-by-step, they build
and improve upon present knowledge pertaining to various aspects of a topic with
medium- or long-term objectives. Innovative methodologies and new findings not
only increase the body of scientific knowledge about a subspecies and the accom-
panying practices but also serve to share findings for improved transboundary

x Foreword

cooperation and conservation management practices addressing the Persian leop-

ard population in Southwest Asia.
In a review of the first section of the book on research, various related technical
studies are presented. For example, in Chap. 4, a very careful research design using
MaxEnt produced an accurate and reliable map of the potential habitat distribution
of the Persian leopard. To increase the accuracy of the results, extensive variables of
natural and socio-economic factors in the diverse regions of Iran are considered.
This variability could considerably affect the reliability of the modelling in the
entire country. As reliability is integral to the accuracy of the model, a series of steps
were taken to insure the best outcome. The entire range of the leopard was divided
into significantly dissimilar regions in terms of natural and socio-economic factors.
In each region, the distributed data were collected in a grid-cell format and com-
pleted separately. Aside from established validation techniques routinely used for
modelling projects, additional assessments—involving approximately 150 knowl-
edgeable local residents of different regions of the country, together with field visits
when required—were conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the maps. Furthermore,
ground validation of the predictive maps was undertaken in three different prov-
inces, each located in a diverse region with dissimilar natural and socio-economic
characteristics. That approach, along with the evaluation of three threshold rules
using actual field data, generated useful technical information in terms of method-
ological evaluations.
Results of Chaps. 4 and 5 are further used to conduct the research presented in
Chap. 6. Cumulative effects of land use (LU) and land cover (LC) on the survival of
a species could be much different from considering stand-alone LU/LC factors.
Knowledge gained in the previous chapters of the book was used to develop an
innovative mathematical model with the relative threshold levels to address a com-
bination of land use and land cover factors—cumulative effects that eventually
could influence the Persian leopard regional persistence in various parts of the coun-
try. This modelling procedure also could be used for other wide-ranging species,
other leopard subspecies or other populations of the Persian leopard in neighbour-
ing countries with relative modifications according to the species and region-­
specific data.
In the second section of the book on management practices, an innovative model
concerning a participatory planning procedure is presented. The model utilizes gen-
eral strategic and action plan theories and techniques to produce a localized model-
ling procedure appropriate for the species and relative local conditions. The next
two chapters, 9 and 10, address the activities conducted and are followed by the
endorsement of the first Persian Leopard National Action Plan in Iran in early 2016.
Very little is known about trafficking of the carnivores and in particular the cat
species in the Middle East and Southwest Asia. Thus, Chap. 9 is dedicated to this
issue and recommends a contingent valuation practice as a requirement for wildlife
trafficking law enforcement addressing the leopard in Iran, in particular.
The last chapter, Chap. 10, is dedicated to an innovative insurance scheme to
cover the loss of livestock to the leopard as well as to the grey wolf concurrent with
improving the livestock husbandry practices. The insurance plan also looks to
Foreword xi

record and pay for medical expenses of any possible human injuries and atonement
for maim or deaths (according to the Iranian laws and regulations) resulting from
the human-carnivore conflicts. Finally, the insurance programme considers the
threats in leopard mortality hotspots to support relative conservation activities for
the purpose of reducing the leopard mortality rate.
As one of the iconic large carnivores of Iran, the Persian leopard is also found
throughout the South, West and Central Asia. The Persian leopard has a wide distri-
bution through the country and is entrusted to Iran’s Department of Environment
(DoE) for long-term management and protection. This book will be of great impor-
tance to all government agencies, NGOs, researchers and stakeholders who have the
task to work cooperatively to save this species for future generations.
Thank you for your contribution to our understanding of the Persian leopard.

Preface

My studies on the Persian leopard started in early 2002 after a very special trip to a
village called Kandelous in Northern Iran. At that time, I was a bachelor student,
searching a topic for my thesis. Kandelous, particularly when I visited the area, was
just like a piece of paradise in a valley with forests nearby. In the middle of the vil-
lage, there was a small museum presenting history and information related to the
area. When I entered the museum, I saw a large statue of a lady standing by a leop-
ard. I started to search about the story of the statue from local people. Most elder
people said the same story about a wild leopard that trusted and started to regularly
follow a young lady, named Mina, in about hundred years ago. Eventually, the leop-
ard was killed by a member of the village, and since then, Mina left to the forest and
never came back again.
After this trip, when I went back to my home city, Tehran, in the discussions with
my lecturer (late Dr. Hormoz Asadi, an international felid expert), he encouraged
me to choose the leopard as my research topic. It was mainly because at that time all
about the status of the Persian leopard in Iran was unknown and undocumented (e.g.
distribution pattern and presence areas, threats, conservation requirements). Soon, a
manuscript was published by Dr. Bahram Kiabi and his colleagues about a guessti-
mate of the leopard population in the country.
Iran is a vast and diverse country, and everywhere I travelled, I found a shadow
of the leopard in local beliefs and thoughts. But actually, it was almost a mystery
whether the Persian leopards are really somewhere out there or they have been there
long in the past. Therefore, I started to collect baseline information which was
mainly about distribution and presence areas (both historically and currently) in all
provinces of Iran. Together with this, I collected data about the main threats, habitat
types and coexisted species in each area, observations, signs, hard facts (e.g. photo,
skin, skeleton), mortalities (such as road kills, hunted individuals), injured or sick
specimens, conflicts with local communities, biometry information and also infor-
mation about the leopards in captivity. The early draft of the research was submitted
as my bachelor thesis in 2004. However, I continued the data collection for 2 more
years, and the results were published in the first volume of the book entitled Status
Assessment of the Persian Leopard in Iran in the Persian language. These studies

xiii
xiv Preface

provided a good background about the leopards in Iran, and based on that, a number
of other studies were developed in various regions of the country.
The current book is the result of the researches and activities which were mainly
planned according to the research needs and conservation requirements identified
by the earlier mentioned above studies. This book consists of two sections of which
the first section is about research activities with the main focus on distribution mod-
elling of the Persian leopard potential habitats, relative ground validations and eval-
uation of threshold rules, a major fragmentation in the countrywide leopard range
and identification of landscape corridors, as well as transboundary habitats in the
Caucasus eco-region. In this section, leopard putative range in Iran is innovatively
classified into the regions according to the natural and socio-economic characteris-
tics for the species research and conservation purposes. A novel methodology in
terms of assessing cumulative effect of the land use/land cover variations on regional
persistence of the Persian leopard in Iran is also elaborated in this section.
In the second section of the book, conservation and management efforts includ-
ing an introduction to the Persian Leopard National Conservation and Management
Action Plan and the relative innovative strategic and action planning model as well
as the innovative national insurance programme addressing the livestock-leopard/
wolf conflicts are presented. Illegal trade of the leopard or any related product is
discussed with conservation valuation point of view for the purpose of trafficking
law enforcement in Iran.
The earliest book proposal was accepted by Springer, New York, for publication
in 2015. The audience of this book includes a wide range of researchers and conser-
vationists working on the large predators particularly the big cats. One of the rea-
sons to publish this book internationally and in English language is for possible use
of conservationists in the countries of the Persian leopard range (e.g. Caucasus
countries, Turkmenistan, Iraq and Afghanistan). International cooperation is a main
concern to improve the leopard conservation efforts in Southwest and Central Asia.
Several innovative methodologies introduced in this book are of main interest for
wildlife conservationists and researchers particularly cat specialists as well as land
use managers and decision-makers.
As the last expression, I hope this effort becomes a valuable step towards the
Persian leopard conservation in their natural habitats and range in Iran and else-
where in Southwest and Central Asia.

Col. Jewett through a long and active life was a controlling spirit in
this town. After serving in the Revolution he removed to
Ashburnham in 1783. He was a merchant and farmer, and for many
years the leading business man of the place, but in other
employments he was even more intimately identified with the town
history. In this connection his record as a citizen, and the sterling
qualities of his character demand more than a passing notice. At the
age of 22 years he entered upon the scene of his future activity and
immediately the town recognized the qualities of the man. The proof
of his popularity and the measure of the confidence reposed in him
are witnessed by the records. He was a member of the board of
Selectmen fifteen years, an assessor fifteen years, town clerk
eighteen years and ten times chosen to preside over the annual
March meeting. " In the midst of these accumulating honors and
responsibilities he was a member of the Legislature seven years and
was frequently chosen to serve on committees and render other
service to the town. In military affairs he evinced a lively interest. He
commanded a company in this town as early as 1789 and was
commissioned a Captain of the independent company in this town
July 12, 1791, and the following year was promoted to Major. He
was Lieutenant Colonal in 1795 and Colonel of the Regiment in
1796. For many years he was a Justice of the Peace." While a
resident of Bolton he served in the Revolution as follows: "Joseph

after the battle of Flatbush, Long Island. 'There are two accounts of
his death. Deacon N. Richards, one of his non-commissioned
officers, speaks of him as follows: " Captain Joseph Jewett of
Huntington's Regiment, an officer much respected and beloved, of
elegant and commanding appearance and unquestionable bravery,
was murdered in cold blood, having surrendered his sword when
demanded, the British officer, on receiving it, instantly plunged it
through his body" (Vermont Chronicles). The other version of his
death is a statement of Lieutenant Jabez Fitch, who was in Captain
Jewett's Company and was taken prisoner at the same time. He says
that the Captain was three times wounded by bayonet stabs " after
he had surrendered," but makes no mention of his having been run
through by a British officer with his own sword after he had given it
up. The original statement of Lieutenant Fitch is now in the
possession of C. J. Bushnell of New York " (A Memoir of the Long
Island Historical Society 1878). Captain Jewett died Aug. 29, 1776.
