The
Far Esatern Leopard or Amur leopard is a leopard subspecies native to the
Primorye region of southeastern Russia and the
Jilin Province of northeast China. It is listed as Critically Endangered and the population amounted to only about 60 indivuals in 2015, although that is up from ~20 in the late 2000s. The special decal on the plane is the project of the
Far Eastern Leopards autonomous non-profit organisation. Aircraft stored since March 2022.
