Common leopard (Panthera pardus fusca, Mayer) is at global dislike, principally due to conflict with humans at the boundary
of the most of the parks. Opportunistically, high density and long dispersals of leopards may contribute significantly to draw
them towards periphery specifically where they co-exist with other sympatric competitor. A long term history of leopard
human conflict cases was obtained from the forest department (WDS, Gir), and was maintained on complaints of villagers regarding
leopard problems at the boundary of the Gir PA. The conflict status was analyzed and resulted with consistent increase in numbers
ranged from 4 during 2000 to 200 during 2012. Leopard density was estimated as an avg. 3.47�?±0.28 individuals/100 km2 along with
high occupancy rate 0.915�?±0.024 respectively using mark-recapture matrix. The movement and ranging pattern of radio-collared
leopardess was recorded ca.11 kms in each dispersal effort during 2002 to 2005 towards human vicinity and finally established home
range of ca. 70 km2 in agro-farm at the coastal site. As the leopard is a least studied and most problematic large carnivore out-side
protected areas, its conflict resolution strategy would be more successful with the information on the abundance, preferable home
range size & movement pattern respectively.
