WILD CATS PROJECT

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India, along with UNDP, WWF, and with financial support from the Global Environment Facility is implmenting a project to conserve small wild cat populations. This project will secure the conservation of globally-significant wild cat landscapes in northern, north-eastern and western India through a landscape conservation approach for wild cats that brings together species conservation programs, connects stakeholders and empowers communities, and operates across PAs, tiger corridors and buffer zones. It aims to integrate small cat needs into existing large cat conservation initiatives so that all wild cats are considered together.
