Arabian Leopards Get $51M Boost to Save Their Species
With fewer than 120 Arabian leopards left in the wild, a groundbreaking $51.6 million partnership between the Smithsonian and Saudi Arabia's Royal Commission for AlUla is racing to save one of the world's rarest big cats. The collaboration will bring these critically endangered leopards to Washington, D.C. for the first time, connecting millions to conservation science while supporting breeding and rewilding efforts.
