“Around the globe, the next generation of cats, defended by a rising cohort of Panthera’s leaders, is opening its eyes and peering into an exciting new world. They awaken to an environment that is stronger, safer and better suited for wild cats than in 2005. Wild cats are better off because of Panthera, as are we.”

The signing of the agreement is a major milestone in our shared ambitions to reintroduce the Arabian leopard population in the region and join global partners to support the preservation of these wild cat populations worldwide. It is our duty to protect, conserve and build the population numbers to preserve the species from becoming a footnote of history.

“One of the things that drew me to Panthera is its focus on wild cats — and focus leads to impact. Panthera’s suite of talented scientists, my fellow Global Alliance members and I all share a deep-rooted dedication to unearthing the science that will help conserve wild cats, reversing species’ declines, elevating their unsung plight with our voices and making their preservation a global priority for all.”

“The partnership between Panthera and WWF marks the beginning of an unprecedented effort to build a shared, collaborative agenda around big cats and the communities living alongside them – we are stronger and more effective of this magnitude as joint partners than working alone. Our collaboration will further protect big cats; together, we will promote coexistence and recognize the vital ecological, cultural and economic role big cats can play.”
