A clouded leopard, an endangered species, has been seen for the first time in about 20 years on Phanom Dong Rak mountain in Si Sa Ket province, a senior conservation official said on Friday.
Chaiwat Limlikhit-aksorn, director of the 9th Conservation Area Administration Office, said a camera trap installed on the mountain from Nov 1-24 had filmed a lone clouded leopard.
It was the first sighting of the endangered wild cat in the area for about 20 years.
He said the sighting was a tribute to park rangers’ efforts to rehabilitate food and water sources for wildlife, and intensified patrols against poaching.
