FELIDAE CONSERVATION FUND

WE ARE COMMITTED TO PRESERVING WILD FELID POPULATIONS IN THEIR NATIVE HABITATS WORLDWIDE, ADDRESSING THE THREATS POSED BY HUMAN ENCROACHMENT AND CONFLICT. WITH NEARLY 40 SPECIES AT RISK OF ENDANGERMENT, OUR WORK FOCUSES ON UNDERSTANDING CARNIVORE ECOLOGY AT THE URBAN-WILDERNESS INTERFACE TO PROMOTE PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE. WE ASSESS FELID POPULATIONS, MOVEMENTS, BEHAVIORS, AND HEALTH TRENDS IN WILD CATS, INCLUDING ZOONOTIC DISEASES, RECOGNIZING THAT 75% OF HUMAN ILLNESSES ARE ZOONOTIC IN ORIGIN. OUR INITIATIVES INVOLVE IDENTIFYING KEY HABITAT PATCHES, COLLECTING CRITICAL HEALTH DATA, AND IMPLEMENTING INNOVATIVE CONFLICT-REDUCTION PROGRAMS. SINCE 2014, WE'VE ENGAGED OVER 120,000 INDIVIDUALS GLOBALLY TO FOSTER HARMONY WITH THESE KEYSTONE SPECIES AND SAFEGUARD HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS. OUR MISSION REMAINS STEADFAST: PREVENTING GLOBAL FELID EXTIRPATION TO ENSURE ECOLOGICAL BALANCE.
