African Cat Project

Our aim is to reduce human-wildlife conflict in southern Africa to protect big cats in the wild, as well as to protect habitats and implement reintroduction programs for big cats who have been eradicated from their former historic ranges. Leopard (Panthera pardus) IUCN ranking: vulnerable with numbers decreasing Leopards are Africa’s most abundant big cat, with numbers somewhere between 50,000 - 80,000, but like the lion and cheetah, are still listed Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List with numbers decreasing. Leopards are elusive and of Africa’s three big cats, known about the least. A solitary hunter with a sleek coat covered in rosettes, the leopard has been hunted to near extinction in some of their former historic ranges for the fashion industry. Still today, as many as 800 leopards a year are killed for their coat. Leopards also face the same threats as their other big cat companions such as habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, the illegal wildlife trade, poaching and unsustainable trophy hunting hunting. Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) IUCN ranking: vulnerable with numbers decreasing The world’s fastest land mammal is racing towards extinction, with numbers at a mere 6,700 worldwid.
