Context Many large carnivores depend on habitat patches outside protected areas, as well as safe corridors between them. However, corridor assessments typically ignore potential conflicts between carnivores and people, which can undermine corridor effectiveness and thus conservation success. Objectives We identified safe dispersal corridors and conflict-prone movement bottlenecks for Persian leopard ( Panthera pardus saxicolor ) between protected areas in the Alborz Mountains, Iran, by mapping… CONTINUE READING
