WildCats Conservation Alliance

A great visit to Thailand’s Department of National Parks Wildlife Crime Investigation Centre in Bangkok this week. WildCats Conservation Alliance is proud to support @OfficialZSL's work strengthening Thailand’s response to illegal wildlife trade. #WildlifeCrime #Thailand

Big cats do not survive in isolation. Amur leopards depend on healthy, plant-rich landscapes for cover, prey and survival. This #WorldWildlifeDay, help us protect the wild places they call home. Donate today> conservewildcats.org/donate/ 📸 LLNP #WWD2026 #AmurLeopard

In the second blog of our climate change series, we look at women who lose their husbands to human–tiger conflict and face long-term social and economic exclusion. As climate change reshapes livelihoods, risks for people and tigers are rising. conservewildcats.org/2026/01/08/tig…

For tigers, rising seas, extreme weather and shifting habitats are turning once-secure landscapes into increasingly unstable ground. Our latest blog explores whether tigers could become climate refugees. Read the blog: conservewildcats.org/2026/01/06/tig…

New research highlights the hidden impact of roads on Asia’s wildlife. A review across 36 countries documents over 200,000 roadkill records and shows roads fragment habitats, alter behaviour and increase risk for many threatened species. conservewildcats.org/2025/12/11/eff…

New research from Nepal’s Tarai Arc shows what works for human–wildlife coexistence. Predator-proof corrals and improved fencing reduce losses from tigers, leopards and elephants but long-term solutions need habitat restoration too. conservewildcats.org/2025/12/15/peo…

New research shows real progress for the Critically Endangered Amur leopard. Camera trap monitoring in southwest Primorsky Krai estimates 118 individuals, double 2014 levels and up 20% since 2020. conservewildcats.org/2025/12/01/pop…

Camera traps in China have captured the first-ever footage of a wild Amur tigress with five cubs, an extraordinary milestone for this endangered species. A testament to decades of cross-border conservation. news.mongabay.com/short-article/…

Illegal trade in Asian big cats has adapted to enforcement efforts and is thriving. This report shows: - Over 3.5K reported poaching and illegal trade incidents since 2000 - Online trafficking is no longer emerging, it’s entrenched catbyte.org/the-trade-in-a…

A collapse in wild boar from African swine fever, plus deer poaching and logging, is pushing more Amur tigers into villages. We’ve supported projects in this region for many years on coexistence, prey recovery and population monitoring. Read more: theguardian.com/environment/20…?

Last night we joined Jonathan Slaght at @StanfordsTravel for his talk about his book ‘Tigers Between Empires’. The book covers Amur tiger work in NE China & the Russian Far East, projects we’ve funded. Recommended for anyone into tigers, history, adventure & conservation.

We can only fund 2026 projects with what we raise in 2025. Be part of the next win for wild tigers & Amur leopards> conservewildcats.org/donate/

African Swine Fever crashed wild boar in Thailand (2022–24). Now they’re bouncing back at Khao Laem NP: detections rose from 41 (2022) to 343 (H1 2025). Good for the food web and neighbouring communities. 🐗🐯 🔊 Sound on for happy snorts! 🎥 @FREELANDglobal / DNP
