Fred Berrangé established the Leopard Conservation Project (LCP) in 2000.The Organisation was registered as a non-profit, section 21 Company in 2007. The focus of the project has primarily been to protect leopard from poaching, poisoning, trapping, and over-hunting, however in recent years focus has shifted to include the collection of data on population and territory size as well as the genetic relatedness and diversity of leopards within different regions. LCP has captured, darted, collared and released a number of animals into suitable environments with GSM cell phone collars and now monitors their movements remotely through the use of cutting edge technology. Collaring these animals has enabled LCP to collect morphometric (physiological) data that will contribute to a better understanding of how these animals are equipped and affected by the challenges they face.
