Panthera‘s wild cats need your help. The organization’s namesake, Panthera, is the name of the genus in the Felidae family, which includes all of the wild cats of Earth.Panthera is on the front lines to stop poaching, prevent conflict with people, conserve habitats, and reduce unsustainable legal hunting.

Why are they so important? They’re the only organization in the entire world devoted to the conservation of wild cats. Their team includes biologists and law enforcement experts who develop strategies to address the threats facing cheetahs, jaguars, leopards, lions, pumas, snow leopards, and tigers. The Panthera team doesn’t just protect wild cats, they also protect their landscapes and other plant and animal life within them. These wild places are critical to our planet’s health and humankind’s.

Check out five stunning wild cats and find out how you can help them.

On this Endangered Species Day, Panthera celebrates the important work being done throughout Asia to save wild #tigers from disappearing. This tigress and her cubs were recently spotted on the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Central India, where Panthera has trained ranger teams to protect tigers against poachers—the cat's biggest threat. #EndangeredSpeciesDay #stopextinction #TigersForever

Check out this beautiful picture of a #bobcat by #wildlife photographer Nick Garbutt! Nick recently contributed some unbelievable photographs of wildlife in Yellowstone for BBC Wildlife Magazine. More about the current issue and how to get a copy at discoverwildlife.org/magazine/current/issue. Dr. Luke Hunter, President and Chief Conservation Officer of Panthera, notes that bobcats are "great generalists" as they "live in a very wide range of habitats, and can kill a wide range of prey."
