This charity works on a vast, international scale to save big cats in the wild. They've successfully negotiated with difficult governments, like Myanmar and Guyana to help conserve leopards and tigers. Their Tigers Forever project focuses on saving tigers by stopping poaching, preserving habitat, creating wildlife corridors, research, and helping the people in the area, which is key to helping the animals. A truly excellent big cat charity that I can't endorse heartily enough.

Amazing organization! Dr. Rabinowitz and his team do fantastic work with wild cat populations, and with education of the indigenous people on why we need to help these cats survive in the wild! I support their mission wholeheartedly!

On my own struggles to write a nonprofit book about the Panthera cats I came in contact with the Panthera Organization almost a year from now. They are so friendly and have no problem at all to share their knowledge and let you in the fantastic world of great cats of the world.
I think it is so unbelivable that there still can be people that fight the hard battles for others and keep going as long as i needs.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the many news letters, web site updates and personal letter from several in the staff. They keep in contact with you because they want people to know about their cause.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
make the upload even more pictures and movies the site. And send my on volunteer work with the jaguars or the leopards so that I can give them both pictures and local knowledge that I can share with the world.

Panthera works all around the world with leading wild cat experts to design and implement science-based conservation strategies. In particular, large felines such as tigers, lions, and snow leopards are top predators in their ecosystems. If they decline, the health of the ecosystem declines. Since of course humans are also members of ecosystems, the loss of these animals also has a negative impact on humans.

Panthera is an amazing organization. It is led by incredibly competent, passionate, and intelligent indiviudals. The mission of the organization is ambitious and energetic. They recently were involved in a snow leopard issue in Mongolia, and the manor in which they handled it was top notch.
They are always at the forefront when issues arise regarding the big cats. It feels like they are an organization tha can truly meet their ambitious mission goals.
They are indeed a force in the conservation world.

I first became aware of Panthera and their mission to preserve the world's wild cats while reading an article about their founder Thomas S. Kaplan in the January 7, 2010 online edition of The New York Times. I have always had a passion for wildlife, especially the big cats so I was ecstatic to find an organization solely dedicated to helping their survival. Since then I have attended a few of their lectures, follow them on their social media sites as well as frequently visit their extensive knowledgeable website to learn as much as I can and find ways that I can help. Panthera's scientists and staff are passionate and dedicated, totally determined to save our wild cats. Their wild cat conservation endeavor is both global and an innovative approach. Their programs are community-based helping to educate communities in how they can coexist and help with the preservation of these amazing cats. Panthera's determination and efforts get results. Recently the Government of Mongolia had issued a proposal which would have allowed the hunting of 4 or more endangered snow leopards for research. Panthera's team of wild cat experts, including the renowned Dr. George Schaller and Dr. Tom McCarthy, Panthera's Snow Leopard Program Executive Director, amazing staff and with the help of almost 3,500 people who signed Panthera's petition within 2 days, were able to get the proposal rescinded. The wild cats of the world stand a chance for survival with Panthera on their side.

Panthera is a wonderful organization that I have supported for about a year - ever since I read about them and their mission to save the wild cats. Although I am not a scientist or researcher, I have a keen interest in big cats and have found the best and most trustworthy information from the Panthera experts who have actually been out in the field. Their field programs not only deal with researching and saving the big cats, but also educating and working with the local people who live side by side with the big cats. I'm an interpreter at a zoo and I, along with every zoo keeper and zoo volunteer that I know, would rather see the animals out in the wild. However, I use Panthera's information about their programs and their expert big cat knowledge to educate the people who I talk with when I stand by the big cat exhibits. I can go on and on about the wonderful books, videos, documentaries and photos that can be found via the Panthera website, but I think you get the idea of what a great organization they are.

Having watched and been both inspired and mesmerized by the wonderful program, Lost Land of the Tiger, I was keen to know more about the organisation involved in this amazing program.
I found a truly passionate, dedicated and importantly, knowledgeable and objective bunch of people. True professionals.
I have been following Panthera on Facebook and have found their posts, information links and photographs consistently inspiring, informative and objective, their passion never seems to get in the way of the facts, essential if the big cats are to be saved.

Watching Lost Land of the Tiger and then speaking to the person who had won an auctioned painting I did for another charity... he was also a big cat lover and I mentioned doing a cat portrait for my next charity fund raising painting. I was still buzzing from Lost Land of the Tiger and so we got talking about Panthera!
