Abstract
Geo-spatial Analysis of Habitat Suitability for Common Leopard (Panthera pardus Linnaeus, 1758) in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, Nepal
Highlights
Leopards (Panthera pardus) are the most widely distributed wild cats, and occupy a broad variety of habitats, from rainforests to deserts and from the fringes of urban areas to remote mountain ranges (1)
There has never been a scientific research conducted in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park (SNNP) about Common Leopard
Scientific study of common leopard is very necessary in SNNP
Summary
Leopards (Panthera pardus) are the most widely distributed wild cats, and occupy a broad variety of habitats, from rainforests to deserts and from the fringes of urban areas to remote mountain ranges (1). The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the most widely distributed felids across the forested landscapes of the Indian subcontinent (2). This spotted cat has short powerful limbs, heavy torso, thick neck, and long tail. With the rise of new powerful statistical techniques and GIS tools, the development of predictive habitat distribution models has rapidly increased in ecology (5). Such models are static and probabilistic in nature, since they statistically relate the geographical distribution of species or communities to their present environment.
