.....Small Cat Conservation Alliance

Welcome to the Small Cat Conservation
Alliance. Thank you for visiting.

Already you can see two of the rarest small
cats on earth: the Guigna (or Kodkod) and
the stunning Andean mountain cat peeking
over a rock.

My purpose here is to help you learn more
about small wild cats and to explain my global
approach to small cat conservation. You might
find it interesting to know that while
humankind has set foot on the moon many
small cats and indeed other small carnivores
remain largely unknown. The sad fact is that
most of the cats you will learn about have
never been studied before. Populations of
most small cats are shrinking and some are
disappearing altogether. When the last wild
population disappears a species is declared
extinct in the wild, a catastrophe that must be
avoided.

First let's learn something about the world's
cats. Please continue.
