This project provided supplementary support for our Prince Bernhard Nature Fund project on collaring domestic animals in villages around Golestan National Park, Iran. Collars have been fixed on cattle, sheep, goats and dogs in order to protect them from strangling neck bites of Persian leopards. By doing this, we aim at reducing the human-leopard conflict and saving these endangered big cats.
