Keep the Momentum. Protect Their Future.

Join our Giving Tuesday match!

Populations of key wild cat species — including lions and tigers — are experiencing a growth they haven’t seen in decades. Our efforts to curb poaching, protect key habitats and mitigate human-wildlife conflict are working. But this isn’t the time to slow down. We must keep up the momentum to secure a thriving future for all wild cats around the world.

Especially today, Giving Tuesday, when your gift has three times the impact thanks to a 2:1 match from the Ayers Wild Cat Conservation Trust, up to $800,000 in matching funds. Will you dedicate this global day of giving to protecting them?

Why give to Panthera?

When you give to Panthera, you support wild cats facing a range of threats, such as:

Habitat Loss

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

Poaching

Lion skin and other seized wildlife contraband

Poaching is one of the biggest threats to wild cats around the globe. By addressing both the crimes and the motivations behind poaching, we are reducing 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.
