Panthera is devoted exclusively to the conservation of the world's 40 wild cat species and their ecosystems — the most comprehensive effort of its kind.
Without intervention, several of these species will not survive the next decade. Panthera's science is changing that outcome.
Using the expertise of the world's premier cat biologists, we develop and implement global strategies for the seven big cats: cheetahs, leopards, jaguars, lions, pumas, snow leopards, and tigers — and protect the most threatened small cat species through our Small Cats Program.
We partner with NGOs, scientific institutions, communities, and governments worldwide to ensure a future where wild cats and people thrive together.
Mission: Ensure a future for wild cats and the vast landscapes on which they depend.
Vision: A world where wild cats thrive in healthy, natural and developed landscapes that sustain people and biodiversity.
The presence of wild cats — our landscape guardians — indicate healthy, intact ecosystems that support all life, including people around the world.
Panthera's core programs focus on implementing conservation strategies for some of the world’s most threatened large cats: tigers, lions, jaguars, snow leopards, cheetahs, pumas and leopards. Our scientists also implement conservation and research initiatives on many of the 33 smaller wild cat species around the globe.
While Panthera’s efforts are focused on saving wild cats, the impacts go far beyond.
