Javan fishing cat The last Javan fishing cat to
be seen was killed by a hunter in 1932. Since
then it has not been recorded. The recent
discovery that the Fishing cat does not exist
(and has not existed) in Sumatra makes
identifying areas where the Javan fishing cat
might exist vital to its conservation.

Chinese mountain cat In 2007, Jim
Sanderson and his colleagues got the first
photographs of a Chinese mountain cat ever
taken in the wild. One of the pictures was
published in the prestigious journal Science
in May 2007.
Traditional Tibetan pastoralists know the
Chinese mountain cat as the Grass cat. The
people kill the cats and make hats and other
accessories, and sell the skins for US$8.00.
SWCCF seeks contributions to survey for
high value conservation areas where the
Chinese mountain cat occurs. Several
protected areas exist in the region and must
be surveyed for the presence of the Chinese
mountain cat.
