Leopard among pantherine is more tolerant and co-occur with humans in a wide variety of habitats. Understanding ecology, behavior and population dynamics are key to conservation of such species. The present study was conducted in resource deficient semi-arid landscape of India. Leopard density was estimated using spatially explicit capture-recapture framework in an area of 217 sq.km. Dietary composition of leopard was examined through scat analysis. 78 interviews were conducted to understand people's perception towards leopard. Density of leopards was estimated to be 6.38/100 sq.km. 11 prey species were found in diet including both domestic and wild. Social survey results show a high tolerance which can be
