GUWAHATI: Leopard population is fast declining in the North East due to the rapid loss of natural habitats of the animal. Less than 150 leopards have been sighted in the North East during the recent photo-captured survey conducted by the Centre.The report also said that despite their widespread distribution, leopard habitats are being increasingly fragmented. Such small fragmented areas with low densities of wild prey cannot harbour a sizeable population of leopards. As a result, leopards are venturing out into the human-dominated landscapes and this leads to conflicts.
