Our client Panthera’s important camera-trap conservation work made headlines this past week in Digital Camera World and People Magazine.
300 PantheraCams, custom-built camera traps, placed in western Tanzania have caught over 15,000 photographs, resulting in breakthroughs for the region, including a rare wild cat variant, first records of other mammals, and a dwindling lion population.
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.
