ಮನುಷ್ಯ-ಪ್ರಾಬಲ್ಯ ಪ್ರದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಂದಿಕೊಂಡರೂ, ಚಿರತೆಗಳ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾರಿ ಇಳಿಮುಖ
ಕೆಲವು ಪ್ರದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯರ ಜೊತೆಗೇ ಆಗಾಗ ಕಾಣಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದರಿಂದ ಚಿರತೆಗಳ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ದೊಡ್ಡದಿರಬಹುದು ಎಂಬ ಗ್ರಹಿಕೆಯಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಚಿರತೆಗಳ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾರಿ ಇಳಿಮುಖವಾಗಿದೆ.
Indian Leopard: Decline in Populations Despite Being a Highly Adaptive Carnivore
