The plans of prevention and management of conflicts between men and leopards written by naturalists, forestry services and administration are not convincing the younger generations. The crisis is exacerbated by the expansion of agricultural activities, the drought that is pushing leopards towards village water supplies and the drop of their natural preys that are commonly poached. The sum of cruelties contrasts with the reputation of non-violence and tolerance towards animals that contribute to India&#8217;s prestige.<br \/>\nIt was a foregone conclusion. The decision of the South African Ministry of the Environment, a decision endorsed at the CITES plenary meeting in Johannesburg in October 2016, to export 800 lion skeletons (see &#8220;On the Trail&#8221; no. 16 p. 54) has whetted the appetites of traffickers and created a sinister suction effect. The killing of wild and especially farmed lions is increasing.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-5' class='gallery galleryid-84708 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"319\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/robindesbois.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ALT21Tigre.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robindesbois.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ALT21Tigre.png 319w, https:\/\/robindesbois.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ALT21Tigre-300x291.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"371\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/robindesbois.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/ALT21-tigre2-e1533113872808.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Baby tiger alive but sedated, entered the USA from Mexico, p. 64.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rhinoceroses p.73<br \/>\n<\/strong>Poaching statistics in Kruger Park are under embargo by order of the South African Ministry of Environment.
