Since 2006, Panthera has followed wild cats to the edges of the earth — and the results speak for themselves. This is the story of two decades, forty species, and a mission that is only gaining ground.
From the outset, Panthera's work has been anchored in globally recognized science — building one of the most comprehensive bodies of knowledge on wild cat ecology, threats, and conservation needs.
That scientific foundation has always served a clear purpose: to enable action. Today, Panthera stands as an implementation-first organization, translating science directly into measurable, on-the-ground impact at scale.
Large-scale connectivity planning for jaguars across Latin America, including the Jaguar Life Refuge — designed to secure and reconnect critical habitat across the species' entire range.
Science-driven recovery strategies supporting tiger populations across Asia, and habitat assessments guiding African lion and leopard conservation across five priority landscapes.
Evidence-based frameworks for anti-poaching, enforcement, and wildlife crime disruption — shaping how governments and partners prioritize conservation investment worldwide.
The future of conservation is not defined by research alone — but by the speed and scale at which it can be implemented.
Panthera is building toward a world where entire landscapes function as connected conservation systems, where scientific insight translates rapidly into field action, and where communities are not just beneficiaries but central to delivery and long-term stewardship.
This is conservation as a continuous system — designed for durability, scalability, and impact that compounds over time.
On-the-ground programs across every priority wild cat habitat on earth
Corridor creation and restoration to reconnect fragmented ecosystems
Real-time field monitoring and conservation technology at the frontier
Strengthened ranger networks, enforcement capacity, and anti-poaching systems
Partnership-driven delivery with governments, Indigenous communities, and local stakeholders
Your partnership is what makes this possible. As we mark 20 years of Panthera's mission, we invite you to go deeper — to understand the full scope of what we are building together, and the role you play in it.
