Panther or Leopard? Clearing the Name Confusion with Culture, History and Science
If you have ever been on a Jaipur safari or chatted with a local guide in Rajasthan, you have likely heard the words panther and leopard used like twins.

This guide unpacks how Jaipur is attempting that balance—what makes Jhalana unique, how corridors and carrying capacity shape decisions, what community engagement looks like on the ground, and how tourism can help (or hurt) conservation if not done carefully.
