My Nonprofit Reviews

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and with the help of almost 3,500 people who signed Panthera's petition within 2 days, were able to get the proposal rescinded.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.
