'Flagship species' at risk
China's state apparatus believes the country's pandas must be saved at all costs. Sri Lanka pays fishermen to protect rare sea turtles. And the Dominican Republic has a parrot team dedicated to saving the Sisserou parrot.

All over the world, governments strive to preserve "flagship species" that are pushed into service as symbols of national pride. So why is Russia building a US$12 billion oil pipeline through the habitat of the world's rarest big cat?

With its long, slender legs and shaggy coat, the Amur leopard is a predator that stalks the frozen forests of far eastern Russia.
