The Business

Panthera, a group dedicated to the preservation of the 40 different species of wild cats that inhabit the world’s ecosystems, was founded in 2006. The seven species of big cats—cheetahs, jaguars, leopards, lions, pumas, snow leopards, and tigers—are studied and protected by our team of biologists, data scientists, law enforcement specialists, and wild cat activists. For the most endangered and underappreciated small cats in the world, Panthera develops focused conservation initiatives. Together with our supporters across the world, we raise awareness of the predicament of wild cats, assist local communities in coexisting peacefully with wild cats, prevent poaching of wild cats and their prey, combat the illicit wildlife trade, and protect the priceless habitats that wild cats require to survive.
