Why is amur leopard listeed as endangered list?

The Amur leopard is listed as endangered primarily due to habitat loss, poaching, and a declining prey base. Deforestation and human encroachment have significantly reduced its natural habitat in the Russian Far East and Northeast China. Additionally, illegal hunting and trade have contributed to its decreasing population, with fewer than 100 individuals estimated to remain in the wild. Conservation efforts are ongoing, but the species remains critically threatened.
