Just like us, wild cats need to safely reach their next destination. Rapid human development fragments habitats, which not only separates wild cats from mates and prey, but it also brings them into closer proximity to humans. As a result, wild cats are increasingly threatened by human-cat conflict, poaching, inbreeding, and natural disasters. That's where Panthera comes in. Through a range of proven and complementary strategies, we're moving the needle for wild cats. By securing habitats, helping create protected areas and wildlife corridors, and promoting alternatives to deforestation and poaching, we're creating a safer world for wild cats — and us all.
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 wildlife and humans.
