Do Amur leopards in captivity or wild?

Amur leopards primarily inhabit the wild, specifically the temperate forests of the Russian Far East and northeastern China. However, some individuals are also kept in captivity in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries for conservation and breeding purposes. Captive breeding programs aim to increase their population and raise awareness about their endangered status. Overall, the majority of Amur leopards exist in the wild, where they face threats such as habitat loss and poaching.
