PANTHERA CORPORATION

Jaguar - panthera utilizes a range-wide approach focusing on the entire spectrum of species influences and dynamics, including prey, key populations, threat mitigation, education and building genetic corridors in which jaguars can move safely. Panthera works closely with ranchers to develop methods and models to demonstrate that cattle ranching and jaguar conservation can co-exist, just as they work with engineers and developers to design roads that allow for easier passage of jaguars and other wildlife.

Puma - panthera is working to better understand and protect pumas in the western u.s. ( especially the olympic peninsula in washington state) and in the torres del paine national park region in the chilean patagonia. Panthera's work includes utilizing innovative camera technology to observe the secret social lives of pumas, characterizing dispersal dynamics and impediments, and mitigating human-puma conflict. A range-wide assessment of the status of pumas, from patagonia to british columbia is also underway. Leopard - panthera seeks to reduce the widespread traditional use of leopard skins by the shembe nazareth baptist church in southern africa, along with other cultures that do that same. In addition, panthera has established a network of monitoring sites across southern africa, western africa and a newly established site in southeast asia. In saudi arabia, panthera is actively surveying potential areas for the assessment of the extant populations of arabian leopards, and also preparing for the re-introduction of the subspecies to their former range. Small cats - panthera also works to understand and conserve the 33 species of small wild cats. Priorities for this program are to focus on the most threatened species, to enhance small cat data collection within t sites traditionally focused on big cat conservation, and to strategically establish new sites of high conservation value for certain small cats. A brief summary of panthera's cross-cutting programs follows:conservation technology - panthera designs and develops tools to enhance field activities, including custom-built camera traps deployed globally to survey wild cat populations, and pantheraids, a specialized software platform for curating and archiving camera-trap data.applied science - panthera's core analytical expertise resides within the applied science program, which supports field projects by applying cutting-edge methods to research design and analysis. Key activities include developing new techniques for monitoring wild cat populations, identifying critical movement corridors, and advancing innovative approaches to wild cat conservation.impact assessment - panthera's impact assessment program drives monitoring, evaluation, and learning across the organization. It supports field projects to set goals, track progress, assess outcomes, and apply lessons learned, helping to measure collective impact and demonstrate the effectiveness of conservation strategies.counter wildlife crime - panthera's counter wildlife crime program works to reduce threats to wild cats by strengthening law enforcement and justice systems. It supports intelligence-led operations, builds the capacity of rangers and enforcement agencies, and promotes stronger prosecution of wildlife crimes to create safer landscapes for wild catsscholarships and awards - panthera provides scholarships and awards to post-graduate students in advanced degree programs to work on research and projects in the conservation efforts of large cat species and their environments. Panthera's programs are organized under two divisions: conservation action and conservation science. The conservation action division oversees the species programs and their associated personnel and infrastructure, leading the direct implementation of field activities to conserve wild cats. The conservation science division houses panthera's cross-cutting programs, which provide technical expertise, tools, and strategic support to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and impact of panthera's fieldwork across all landscapes.
