摘要

Awareness of the habitat needs of top predators is vital for viability of wildlife populations. During2017–2018, 32 points of presence signs of the Persian leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor) were spotted andthey were associated to 6 environmental variables. The maximum entropy (Maxent) model was used to predictthe distribution of Persian leopards in the Gisakan, south-western Iran. The validity of habitat suitabilitymodel (Training data = 0.844) confirmed the reliability of method. On the basis of Jackknife test, distancefrom the villages (less presence far from the villages), distance from water resources (the farther from the waterresource, the less presence), elevation and slope (most presence in elevations 600–1400 m a. s. l. and slopes30–70), distance from the roads (the farther from roads, the more presence) and land cover (more presencein woodlands) variables, respectively, were the most important variables. The results indicate that 25.19 ofarea (115.13 km~2) contains suitable habitat. We suggest that conservation and management plans for leopardsbe conducted on areas such as studied area that are not formally protected. The results of this study can alsohelp us to identify and protect suitable habitats for conservation and management as well as decrease wildlife–human conflicts.
