What if the proceeds from leopard print items went to support our dwindling leopard population?

I personally can't stand leopard print anything, that's just me but I still wear it and also I HAVE A QUESTION. Could leopard print be used to save real leopards in the wild?. WHAT IF companies such as Bebe, Betsy Johnson and Charolette Russe were to donate a percentage of their leopard print product revenue on protecting this species. Supporting wild life refugees could be a great move for their PR, and the timing couldn't be better. Below are the species of leopard that have no more than 50 adults left.
  • Amur Leopard - Panthera pardus orientalis
  • Caucasian Leopard - Panthera pardus ciscaucasica
  • North China Leopard - Panthera pardus japonensis
  • Indochina Leopard - Panthera pardus delacouri
  • Sri Lanka Leopard - Panthera pardus kotiya
And there are few species of leopard that have more than 1000 members remaining. The snow leopards are becoming the rarest of the large cats left on Earth. They need humans to start noticing this situation and what better way than through the clothes we buy, sell and wear? If a company could put 10% of it's proceeds (specifically it's garments or bags with leopard print: 38 items specifically on Charolettte Russe' online site) towards nurturing the leopard populations back to a health, they could really turn some heads and make a big difference. Aside from an awesome way to support wild life refugees, this would be a great tool for them to real in animal lovers, activists, or anyone who'd like to feel like their purchase is making a difference.
Bring your leopard print wearer closer to impacting the fate of the creature that inspired the print.
I mean, will anyone wear leopard print when there are no leopards? Probably.. but I don't want to see that day!
