Within the initiative and financial support of WWF's Caucasus Program Office, the NACRES Conservation Research Group, has identified the Leopard (Pantera pardus) in Georgia again. During the recent field trip, the group members found the photo of the Leopard taken in August by one of the camera-traps installed in Tusheti Protected Areas. 
In Georgia, the Leopard research programme was resumed from 2020 with the initiative and financial support of WWF. The programme is implemented through the active involvement of NACRES Conservation Research Group and in close cooperation with the Agency of Protected Areas of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture.
The footprints of the Leopard were last time seen in Vashlovani protected areas in 2009, and in August 2021, it was also photographed by one of the camera-traps installed in  Tusheti Protected Areas in Georgia.
The WWF Leopard research programme has been implemented in the South Caucasus since 2000 with the financial support of WWF Schweiz and WWF Deutschland.
