ISEC Canada

It is with deep shock and sorrow that ISEC has lost its founding member and Senior Director. Pat Bumstead died suddenly and unexpectedly (but thankfully in her sleep) a few weeks ago. We are all in shock here still; ISEC will however continue as before.

Without a doubt my wildlife highlight of the year so far: not one, not two, not three but four swimming Leopard Cats (豹猫) today in Beijing. A mother and three well-grown kittens cross the lake as waterbirds look on.

Have you ever seen a Geoffroy's cat before? This small cat was caught on camera by Panthera partner photographer Sebastian Kennerknecht (@pumapix) in Ibera Provincial Reserve, Argentina. Sebastian's photography helps draw attention to this lesser-known species.

@BirdingBeijing And I always had trouble with the bigger snow leopards! Who could have possibly seen this cat in the first place?!

You’ve all played spot the Snow Leopard. Now let’s play spot the Pallas’s Cat. It’s no wonder these cats are hard to see in the wild. Photo by 徐征泽.

The Uruguayan #pampascat (Leopardus munoai) is only distributed in Uruguay, southern Brazil, and a small part of Argentina. The main threat is habitat loss due to the conversion of grasslands to soybean plantations. Thanks @mastogirl18 for the video youtube.com/watch?v=GPehXU…

Thanks @rewild!
