Big Cat Conservation: A Global Alliance
Organization information
Worldwide Indigenous Science Network
Location: Lahaina, United States of America
Summary
Alone, neither science nor indigenous knowledge can stop the extinction of snow leopards, white lions, tigers, and jaguars. In 2013, for the first time ever, indigenous elders/shamans and scientists partnered to forge radical new conservation methods. Within months, the team helped forge the UN Global Snow Leopard policy, and now aim to carry the work into South Africa, home of the most endangered cat-the white lions.
