About Batifa the Persian Leopard
About Batifa: This precious, endangered Persian Leopard was rescued after being caught in a trap. Though one hind leg was later amputated, his courage and recovery continue to inspire. Batifa’s Collection brings together elegant designs with vibrant, complementary colors and striking prints, featuring our exclusive “Emerald Batifa the Leopard” painting. Inspired by Batifa’s rescue and resilience, each piece in this collection celebrates healing, strength, and hope for his species.

Hope for Batifa—and for Persian Leopards
Batifa’s story comes from a conflict zone where Persian leopards face escalating human threats: habitat loss and fragmented corridors, snares and leg-hold traps, retaliatory poisonings and shootings after livestock losses, depleted wild prey, and deadly road collisions on expanding highways. After days in a trap, Batifa was rescued; a damaged hind leg was amputated, making a return to the wild impossible. His resilience is the heart of this collection.
“I sketched, painted, and designed these pieces to carry Batifa’s story into daily life—so awareness becomes action: safer wildlife corridors and roads, coexistence with herders, and an end to trapping and poisoning.”
— Azi Sharif, Founder & Executive Director, Wildlife Jewels®
