#DUMNA #Leopards are widely distributed species and in comparison to other large carnivores have been able to survive better in an increasingly human-dominated landscape, largely due to its adaptable
behaviour and due to protection. Dumna is home to more than 9 leopards.
We request both the #Jabalpur Municipal Corporation as well as the Madhya Pradesh State Government to co-operate in ensuring that #Dumna is preserved for future generations as a point of pride in the history of the city & state.
