WAH (2025) Wild At Heart

 
Wild at Heart

We celebrate wild cats year-round, but our Wild at Heart campaign offers a special chance to highlight their vital role in our ecosystems. As top predators, wild cats help maintain nature’s balance by regulating prey populations, preventing overgrazing, and keeping food chains in check—all of which protect habitats from degradation. They also serve as indicators of healthy forests that store carbon, making them key allies in the fight against climate change. Their presence is a powerful reminder of the deep connections within our natural world and the urgent need to protect these landscapes for generations to come.

In honor of Earth Day, become #WildAtHeart
