Leopardssrilanka.com is an initiative by Sri Lanka's premier Eco / Nature & Aadventure operator Eco Team and it's Luxury Safari Brand – Mahoora.We strive for conservation of The Sri Lanka leopard ( Panthera pardus kotiya ), colloquially known as Kotiya , which is a subspecies of leopard native to Srilanka, by sustainable tourism projects. The survival of the Leopards in Sri Lanka been threatened due to poaching, habitat loss, and persecution.

A recent study has shown that Yala National Park has one of the highest recorded densities of leopards in the world, although this animal is still considered to be endangered. The Wilpattu National Park in Sri Lanka is also known as a good place to watch leopards. Leopards tend to be more readily observed in parts of Sri Lanka than in other countries where they share their habitat with more dominant competitors, such as lions or hyaenas .
