Panthera was featured in Scientific America, Wired, and Gizmodo this past week after large-scale research was done in collaboration with The Conservation Science Partners showing that mountain lion populated areas experience a decrease in collisions caused by deer and elk, revealing an unexpected benefit in humans coexisting with big cats.
Founded in 2006, Panthera is devoted to preserving wild cats and their critical role in the world’s ecosystems. Panthera’s team of leading biologists, law enforcement experts and wild cat advocates develop innovative strategies based on the best available science to protect cheetahs, jaguars, leopards, lions, pumas, snow leopards, tigers and the 33 small cat species and their vast landscapes. In 39 countries around the world, Panthera works with a wide variety of stakeholders to reduce or eliminate the most pressing threats to wild cats—securing their future, and ours.
