Arabian Leopard (Classic) is a stunning tribute to one of the most majestic creatures of the Arabian Peninsula: the Arabian leopard (Panthera pardus nimr). This magnificent subspecies has evolved distinct features over thousands of years, perfectly adapting to the unique deserts and mountainous terrains of Arabia. In an insightful essay by wildlife conservationist Andrew Spalton, the narrative traces the Arabian leopard's epic journey from Africa to its current habitat in Arabia over the past half a million years, highlighting both its rich history and its current status as a critically endangered species.

Throughout the ages, the Arabian leopard has been depicted as a symbol of strength, freedom, and fearlessness in ancient rock art, mosaics, and paintings, solidifying its revered status in both Saudi Arabia and the wider world. The Royal Commission for AlUla has prioritized wildlife conservation efforts to protect this extraordinary subspecies, establishing the Arabian Leopard Fund to promote awareness and garner support for its preservation. This book not only highlights the beauty and significance of the Arabian leopard but also aims to raise awareness about the ongoing efforts to safeguard this iconic animal.
