Tiger drinking from a solar powered well

What YOU did for Tigers, Jungle Cats, Leopard Cats, Clouded Leopards and an Auction!! 

International Tiger Day was a HUGE SUCCESS thanks to YOU!  The solar powered wells to provide watering holes for tigers in India in areas experiencing increasing drought conditions that are our insitu project for International Tiger Day cost $4800 each to construct.  We set a goal for the day of funding two of these wells.  You BLEW THE DOORS OFF that goal by collectively donating $20,365 which have funded FOUR WELLS. On behalf of the thirsty tigers who will now have watering holes to drink at, thanks VERY, VERY MUCH!!!  See some of the other cats your donations are saving below, including clouded leopards, jungle cats, leopard cats and more.

Saving Jungle Cats and Leopard Cats in Nepal

This project aims to reduce the threats to Jungle Cats and Leopard Cats in central (Dhanushadham) and eastern (Mahamahi) Nepal. The main activities of this project include camera trapping, road signage, hoarding board installations, school education programs, and community awareness in the new sites.  This project is supervised by Rama Mishra, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Antwerp, Belgium

 
Clouded Leopard

Saving Clouded Leopards in Nepal - Ganga Ram Regmi

This multi-faceted project focuses on reducing threats to clouded leopards of retaliatory killings and poaching in Nepal. Part of the program focuses on educating school children to appreciate the majesty and importance of preserving the cats. This has the double impact of creating a supportive future generation while at the same time bringing this message home to their parents. A second part of the program involves funding the construction of predator proof corrals to prevent predation of the goats that local farmers depend on. Preventing predation removes the incentive for retaliatory killing of the cats. The third part of the program involves funding alternative sources of income in return for local support for preserving the cats. These include bee keeping, medicinal plant farming, and year round growing of organic vegetables in greenhouses both for consumption and to sell for income.
