Why They Are Getting Extinct:
1. The forest fires are burning down their habitat so then they have no where to live and sometimes they’re caught in the forest fire!!!
2. When they go to forests and farms to look for prey, they often get shot by hunters and farmers.

What People Are Doing To Help:
Efforts are being made to reduce forest fires and people like the WWF organization is helping to vaccinate the Amur Leopard’s prey so they don’t carry diseases when they get eaten, but remember they are still dying so you should help too! Its important!
