Research from the University of Twente shows how the Javan leopard, one of the world's rarest big cats, survives on one of the most crowded islands on Earth. Using camera traps and spatial models, Andhika Chandra Ariyanto, a doctoral researcher at ITC, found that the cat depends on a wide range of prey and on recovering forests as much as on the protected reserves that conservation usually prioritizes.
