SUMMARY:International Day of the Arabian Leopard 2025
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 10 February as the International Day of the Arabian Leopard in resolution 77/295. This observance was celebrated for the first time at UN Headquarters in New York in 2024. \nThe Arabian leopard is legally protected across its range\, but greater enforcement of laws and active management of surviving populations are needed to ensure the species’ survival. \nObserving this International Day will promote much-needed attention for the Arabian leopard and galvanize public engagement in conservation initiatives aimed at restoring leopard populations and other endangered species for the benefit of ecosystems.
