Giving Tuesday (2024)

 

Join the Match!

This GivingTuesday, join us in protecting wild cats and the places they call home. To make your contribution even more impactful, the Ayers Wild Cat Conservation Trust is offering a special match — all donations made to Panthera between November 22 and December 31 will be matched dollar-for-dollar. So, your support will go twice as far for tigers, jaguars, ocelots and all wild cats.

DOUBLE THE STRIPES.

What is Giving Tuesday?

GivingTuesday, happening on December 3, is a global day of generosity when millions of people come together to support the causes they care about most. While your support is always valued, donations made on this special day are especially appreciated — and twice as impactful thanks to the match!

Panthera collaborates with Costa Rica’s government, NGO's, and communities to collect data on roadkill hotspots — leading to the creation of 40+ wildlife underpasses as well as the construction of dozens of wildlife crossing signs.

Why Panthera?

Panthera is creating a world where wild cats thrive in healthy, natural and developed landscapes that sustain people and biodiversity. Through cutting-edge scientific research, strategic species recovery, habitat restoration, and collaboration with communities and partners, we're protecting the world's 40 species of wild cats and helping ensure a future for us all.

When you give to Panthera, you support wild cats threatened by:

Habitat Loss

Wild cats need large home ranges with access to abundant prey, mates and water. We connect and protect critical habitats to ensure a genetic flow between wild cat populations and reduce threats like vehicle strikes or retaliatory killings.

Poaching

Poaching is one of the biggest threats to wild cats around the globe. By addressing both the crimes and the root causes, we are helping reduce the poaching of wild cats and their prey, before it’s too late.

Overhunting of Prey

When prey populations are decimated, so too are wild cat populations. We’re implementing lasting, impactful solutions like habitat restoration, breeding programs, and education and community outreach efforts.
