Abstract: Roads and human traffic can negatively impact the survival and behavior of a variety ofmammals. In this study, camera-trapping techniques and capture-recapture estimationmodels were used to determine the effects of roads and human presence on Asiaticleopard relative abundance in a 104-km2 section of Kaeng Krachan National Park,Thailand. Changes in relative abundance of leopards were related to roads, humandisturbance and prey abundance, but there was no interaction between distance fromroad and prey. Density estimates for leopards were 4.78?2.42 individuals per 100 krrr',or a minimum of 4 males and 2 females known alive in the study area.The road was not shown to be a barrier for leopards, but the effects were probablyrelated to human activity along the road. A logistic regression model suggested theprobability of the presence of leopards was significantly lower near the road (p < 0.05)that bisected the study area. Human presence in the forest appeared to influence leopardactivity patterns. Suggesting that the activity was less diurnal in the areas more heavilyused by people compared to areas less used (Mann-Whitney U, p = 0.004). However,hunting in the study area is still the biggest threat to leopards and other wildlife.Finally, in addition to more effort to reduce poaching, more research is needed todetermine the demographic implications of road and human avoidance for such species,and what if any mitigation strategies are required.
