During our recent project in Iran, we embarked on identifying persons from local communities mostly from livestock-leopard conflict areas who take a part in conserving this species. Earlier we had acknowledged a person from Rashvanlou village because of saving a leopard while he was injured. Mr. Azimi from North Khorasan province, Mr. Ansari from Qazvin province, Mr. Zahedi from Boushehr province and Mr. Gol Mohammadi from Golestan province were invited to our regional Persian leopard workshops and acknowledged by director general of the Provincial DoE offices of North Khorasan, West Azarbaijan, Boushehr and Golestan provinces as well as Asian Leopard Specialist Society. Two other persons including Dr. Masoud Shakiba and a senior ranger from Marakan P.A., one of the few remaining leopard habitats in West Azarbaijan province, were acknowledged because of their attempts for the Persian leopards during the last years. We believe there are many more people in local communities who really care about this species in their surroundings and their efforts to save wildlife species in their region should be acknowledged. We have great feed backs from local communities in some of these regions after appreciation ceremonies. This was done during our recent project in co-operation with DoE provincial offices of mentioned provinces as well as SGP. The true idea of acknowledging local communities during the workshops was first mentioned by Mr. B. Jafaari, wildlife expert of North Khorasan DoE. We must thank everyone involved in this work.
