“Thank you for CATalyzing change for my feline cousins! In November, Panthera sent out an urgent call for help — and you answered. Together, we were all CATalysts for change.”

From the mountains of Patagonia to the floodplains of Zambia, wild cats face a multitude of challenges. Poaching, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict threaten to drive wild cat species to the edge. These challenges may be daunting but this Giving Tuesday, we took a stand to Create Action Today for the future of wild cats tomorrow.

Jaguars

Ecotourism is flourishing in the Pantanal, the world’s largest wetlands, thanks to the 99 jaguars spotted in 2022 alone. Not only are jaguars furthering economic activity, but also biodiversity and even the water upon which we rely. Learn More »

Pumas

Pumas have the largest range of any terrestrial mammal in the Americas, across which they provide energy and nutrients via interactions with 485 species of birds, plants, insects and other mammals. Learn More »

Bobcats

Bobcats primarily subsist on small prey like rodents, which controls rodent populations and limits the spread of disease. But when bobcats consumed rodents exposed to rodenticides, they were more than 7 times more likely to die of mange than any other source of mortality. Learn More »

CATalyzing the Future with Alana and Alex Rabinowitz

Friday, December 9 at 10 a.m. EST

Panthera's CATalyst campaign is inspiring cat enthusiasts of all ages to recognize and generate awareness about the inextricable link between wild cats and planetary health.

Tomorrow, on December 9, we will have a conversation with Alana and Alex Rabinowitz, the children of Panthera’s late co-founder, Alan Rabinowitz, about the importance of wild cats and how everyone can get involved in their protection. Now in their twenties, Alex and Alana are CATalyzing change for wild cats — in between law school and pre-med classes!

Tune in to learn about how Alan’s legacy lives on, as well as practical steps you can take to Create Action Today for the future of wild cats tomorrow.

CATalyst: Reintroduction

Tuesday, November 22 at 10 a.m.

Climate change, biodiversity loss and prey depletion are just a few of the most urgent issues facing wild cats today. But as keystone species, reintroducing wild cats to an ecosystem can shape, balance and restore the entire habitat. Panthera works to re-establish the populations of three species within their native ranges — Arabian leopards, lions and jaguars.

On Tuesday, November 22, Panthera president and CEO Dr. Fred Launay hosted a live fireside chat with some of Panthera’s leading scientists.
