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.
There’s a reason why so many movies, songs, and books celebrate the theme of going "home for the holidays." It’s a season for reconnecting with loved ones, recharging from our daily routines, and rediscovering what feels like home.
This year, we’re spotlighting another kind of home that needs our attention: the habitats of wild cats. Every wild cat, from the tiniest rusty-spotted cat to the majestic tiger, relies on intact, connected habitats to thrive. By protecting these natural spaces, we create safe corridors where they can hunt, find mates, and raise their young.
With your support, we can make sure wild cats have a "home" to return to, season after season.
Panther partners with six First Nation Tribes to study how the Interstate 5 impacts pumas and bobcats, identify bottlenecks and blockages in wildlife corridors, and help state developers modify the I-5 to better support wildlife.
We're securing critical habitats for tigers and improving the status of tiger prey by intensifying protection in the Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary and adjoining protected areas, and addressing specific threats to tigers and their prey.
We're monitoring the small wild cat species, fishing cats, to understand how a railway in Thailand's Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park impacts this species, finding that fishing cats use the railway bridges as a corridor between populations.
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.
When you give to Panthera, you support wild cats threatened by:
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 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.
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.
