Small Cat Conservation Alliance Mission and priorities
|

The Small Cat Conservation Alliance (SCCA) was founded in 1996 to address the conservation needs of
small wild cats worldwide. The conservation needs of many small wild cats remain a mystery. SCCA is an
alliance because many partners are needed to address these conservation issues worldwide. There is
not enough time for a single individual to investigate all species of small wild cats.
The mission of Small Cat Conservation Alliance is to ensure the survival of small wild cats and their
natural habitats worldwide.
This mission is achieved by identifying high conservation value populations of the most threatened small
wild cats, understanding and mitigating threats to these populations, and then monitoring these
populations over the long-term.
SCCA primary priorities are the most Endangered small cats:
(a) Andean cat
(b) Bay cat

(d) Fishing cat
