Panthera’s Initiatives
Panthera develops and implements conservation initiatives that protect wild cats and their landscapes in 47 countries around the world. 
Expertise & Approach
Panthera’s range-wide conservation strategies are focused on the world’s largest, and some of the most imperiled cats: tigers, lions, jaguars, snow leopards, leopards, pumas and cheetahs. Every program is founded on the best available science and is tailored to suit each cat’s behavior and ecology, the unique threats they face, the various landscapes they depend on, and the human communities they live alongside. By collaborating with governments, corporations, local communities and other NGOs, we have amplified our conservation efforts as they relate to genetic research, education, and human health and livelihood.

Landscape Analysis Lab
Panthera’s Landscape Analysis Lab provides spatial data and analysis for our conservation projects around the globe. Using satellite imagery, statistical modeling, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the Landscape Analysis Lab helps Panthera identify patterns in landscapes occupied by wild cats,  along with the causes and consequences of these patterns.

This knowledge, ranging from details on illegal habitat destruction to snow leopard range use in a protected area, enables Panthera to assess habitat availability, prioritize conservation areas and develop effective species conservation plans.

Conservation Technology
Range-wide species conservation necessitates effective monitoring of big cat populations, as well as measuring and mitigating threats to their survival. Consequently, developing and improving upon existing conservation technology is a crucial segment of Panthera’s work.
