The Andean cat, one of the world’s rarest feline species, thrives in the rugged terrains of the Andes Mountains and the Patagonia steppe. This extraordinary animal faces severe threats due to human activities such as mining, hunting, and unregulated tourism, leading to a rapid decline in its population, with fewer than 2,800 left in the wild.
Conservation of their unique habitat is essential for their survival. The Payunia Provincial Reserve in Mendoza, Argentina, shelters various wildlife, including the endangered Andean cats. However, livestock competition for resources has resulted in conflicts, jeopardizing their existence.
In response, Greater Good Charities has partnered with WCS Argentina to repurpose ranch land into a wildlife reserve. To date, they have successfully protected hundreds of thousands of acres, significantly benefiting local wildlife. By donating to Andean cat conservation, you play a crucial role in supporting their habitat protection initiatives and ensuring a brighter future for this majestic species.
