We are moving the database from GT1 to GT2 right now, so it can be some problems with the GT2-checklist.

Species


The data on species level is structured in four areas (see picture below):
1. At the top in light yellow, the species' name is shown together with, when applicable, its IUCN code (click on the code and you will be redirected to IUCN's webpage with detailed information about this threatened species) and, if you have ticked the species, a green tick to the right
2. In the rich yellow field you also have the species name and a scroll function up (left) or down (right) the sequence of the chosen checklist (click on Filter if you want to change the active checklist).
3. Below the yellow field, the taxonomic tree down to the chosen level is shown (click on any higher level to get a new selection of species groups).
4. The submenu in black shows the information sets available:
* Info - species info including a distribution map, a photo and, if applicable, subspecific information and taxonomic notes
* Names [# of] - shows the species' name in different languages (recommended as well as optional names) and within brackets # of names
* Photo [# of] - all photos on the GT Network of this species and within brackets # of photos
* Distribution - a distribution map and countries where this particular species/subspecies has been recorded and also its status
* Who X - list of GT members that have ticked the species and in which countries
* My ticks [# of] - my own ticks on country level and within brackets # of ticks
* My notes [*]- a free text field where you can save your personal notes related to this species; if you have saved information you will have a [*] marker
* Literature - in which book and on which plate is the taxon depicted (this is work-in-progress so not many references so far...)
* xeno-canto - click and you will be redirected to xeno-canto's website to hear voice recordings of the species
* Wikipedia - click on the icon and you will be redirected to Wikipedia's website

Taxonomy and Distribution

Taxa

 Leopard Panthera pardus (35881)
 The leopard occurs across most of sub-Saharan Africa, as remnant populations in North Africa, and then in the Arabian peninsula and Sinai/Judean Desert (Egypt/Israel/Jordan), south-western and eastern Turkey, and through Southwest Asia and the Caucasus into the Himalayan foothills, India, China and the Russian Far East, as well as on the islands of Java and Sri Lanka. Regionally extinct: Hong Kong; Kuwait; Libyan Arab Jamahiriya; Singapore; Syrian Arab Republic; Tunisia; Presence uncertain: Iraq; Kazakhstan; Korea, Republic of; Lebanon; Lesotho; Mauritania
 japonensisNorthern China
 delacouriiSoutheast Asia into southern China
 fuscaIndian subcontinent
 saxicolorThe most recent crude national population estimates are: 550-850 in Iran; 200-300 (?) in Afghanistan; 78-90 in Turkmenistan; <10-13 in Armenia; <10-13 in Azerbaijan; 3-4 in Nagorno-Karabakh; <5 in Georgia; < 10 in Russian North Caucasus; < 5 in Turkey
 pardusIn sub-Saharan Africa, leopards remain widely, albeit now patchily, distributed within historical limits. It is estimated that leopards have disappeared from at least 36.7% of their historical range in Africa. The most marked range loss has been in the Sahel belt, as well as in Nigeria and South Africa. They have been locally extirpated from areas densely populated with people or where habitat conversion is extreme. They are likely extinct on Zanzibar, where there have been no confirmed records since 1996. In North Africa, a tiny relict population persists in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and there was a probable observation on the Morocco-Algerian border in Figuig in 2007, while a population was recently found in the Ahaggar of south-eastern Algeria, a region from which they had not previously been recorded. Leopard are likely extinct in Egypt, although they may occur in the Eastern Desert.
 nimrA 2006 Arabian Fauna Conservation Workshop estimated there were fewer than 200 leopards remaining on the Arabian peninsula, in three confirmed separate subpopulations: the Negev desert, the Wada'a mountains of Yemen, and the Dhofar mountains of Oman. Presence in Saudi Arabia is uncertain (IUCN)
 melasIndonesia (Java). Population (1992): 350-700. Critically endangered.
 kotiyaSri Lanka
 orientalisThe Amur leopard is a very rare subspecies, with a 2007 census counting only 14-20 adults and 5-6 cubs in the southwestern Primorye region of Russia. The Amur leopard is extinct in China and the Korean Peninsula.
