In order to keep my species off the endangered species list, we would have to stop being killed, obviously. In order to keep more of us alive, hunters would need to stop poaching us. Also, one way that could help us is preserving land especially for us until there's enough leopards to get us off the list. One way an ordinary human like you could do to help us is donate money!
In the wild, there are reasons why our population is so limited. A density-dependent limiting factor that we have to deal with would be competition for resources such as food, land, and mates. We could fight with the Amur Tiger for these resources. Also, when we are helpless little cubs, we have the chance of being eaten by larger predators. Sometimes, diseases and parasites get to us and we die. On the other hand, some density-independent limiting factors would be wildfires, unusual weather, and things that humans do such as poaching and environmental damage. These limiting factors are more out of our reach, and happen whether we like it or not.
Humans have researched us and why we are endangered; which is because they want our fur and bones. Although, there hasn't been very much break through because we are still dying.
Because of you pesky humans, my species is very endangered. Poaching, and environmental damage due to deforestation and pollution are some of the reasons why there are only 35 left of us.
