What We Do

• Raise Awareness: Through social media campaigns and targeted programs for estate workers, cattle owners, and school children, we educate communities about the leopard’s vital role in the ecosystem.
• Conduct Research: Using tools like camera trapping, we monitor leopard behavior, movement, and habitats to inform conservation strategies.
• Engage Communities: We organize field trips, discussion forums with experts, and photography and art exhibitions to inspire leopard enthusiasts.
• Mitigate Conflict: Our initiatives focus on reducing human-leopard conflicts through education and practical solutions, fostering safe environments for both communities and leopards.
• Collaborate for Impact: By partnering with government, non-government, and community- based organizations, we drive conservation initiatives and advocate for policies to protect the Sri Lankan Leopard across its habitats

Leopocon and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Leopocon’s work to conserve the Sri Lankan Leopard aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), contributing to global efforts for a sustainable future. Below, we outline how our projects and activities relate to relevant SDGs:

• SDG 15: Life on Land
  Our core mission to protect and enrich the natural habitats of the Sri Lankan Leopard directly supports SDG 15, which focuses on conserving terrestrial ecosystems and halting biodiversity loss. Through habitat restoration, anti-poaching advocacy, and research using tools like camera trapping, we safeguard the leopard and its ecosystem, promoting biodiversity across regions.
• SDG 4: Quality Education
  Leopocon’s awareness programs for estate workers, cattle owners, and school children align with SDG 4 by promoting environmental education. By educating communities about the leopard’s ecological role, we foster informed stewards who contribute to conservation and sustainable coexistence.
• SDG 13: Climate Action
  Our efforts to preserve leopard habitats contribute to SDG 13 by protecting ecosystems that regulate climate. Healthy forests and landscapes, where leopards thrive, act as carbon sinks, supporting climate resilience and mitigation.
• SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
  By collaborating with government, non-government, and community-based organizations, Leopocon supports SDG 17, which emphasizes partnerships to achieve sustainable development. These collaborations drive impactful conservation strategies and policy advocacy for the Sri Lankan Leopard.
• SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
  Our initiatives to reduce human-leopard conflict through education and community engagement align with SDG 11 by fostering safe, sustainable communities. By promoting coexistence, we ensure safer environments for both people and leopards in rural and peri-urban areas.

Through these efforts, Leopocon integrates conservation with global sustainability goals, ensuring the Sri Lankan Leopard thrives while contributing to a healthier planet and empowered communities.
