The Fall of the Roaming Empire

Join our Giving Tuesday match!

Before highways and human development carved up their territories, wild cats once roamed freely across vast, connected landscapes. Today, pumas in Washington State face a dangerous divide — highways like I-5 have isolated populations, increasing the risk of inbreeding and vehicle collisions. One young puma, Yenewes, was tragically lost trying to cross this busy road, a stark reminder of the challenges these cats face.

You can help reconnect their world. With your support, we can build wildlife bridges and underpasses that safely link puma populations, restore genetic diversity, and ensure a thriving future for pumas and all wild cats. Take the road less traveled — double your impact for wild cats with a GivingTuesday gift today.

All donations to Panthera will be matched dollar-for-dollar by The Ayers Wild Cat Conservation Trust through December 31, 2025, up to $500,000. All gifts are tax-deductible.

Panthera is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 20-4668756).
