Conservation

Panthera – Global Alliance of Support

“Panthera has brought together the world’s leading wild cat experts to direct and implement effective conservation strategies for the world’s largest and most endangered cats: tigers, lions, jaguars and snow leopards. Our approach to wild cat conservation is rooted in science and based upon decades of first hand field experience. We seek a future in which the world’s 38 wild cat species have the necessary and ongoing protection from human and environmental threats to persist and thrive in the wild. Our vision sees endangered wild cat populations rebounded, critical habitats and
core populations connected by genetic and biological corridors,
and a global commitment to protect these iconic species
through near and distant futures.”

National Geographic – Pristine Seas Expeditions

“Pristine Seas is an exploration, research, and media project to find, survey, and help protect the last wild places in the ocean. These pristine places are unknown by all but long-distance fishing fleets, which have started to encroach on them. It is essential to let the world know that these places exist, that they are threatened, and that they deserve to be protected.”
