According to wildlife experts, the Indian Leopard is a vulnerable species listed on the IUCN Red List because of its reducing population. Leopards have been targeted by hunters for their hides and other body parts. However, habitat loss, especially due to agriculture land, also poses a threat to rare wild cats. Habitat loss has also been blamed for increased instances of human-animal conflict.
