Leaders in Wild Cat Conservation

For twenty years, Panthera's work has spanned the full breadth of the world's 40 wild cat species — from the great cats that have commanded human reverence for millennia to the rarest and least-known, whose survival depends on science the world cannot yet see. Through rigorous research, enduring partnerships, and an unflinching commitment to landscapes where nature and humanity coexist, Panthera has become the defining force in wild cat conservation.
