The World Land Trust, of which I am a Council member, is raising money for big cat conservation – including Bengal Tiger, Puma and Jaguar (I’d just love to see a Jaguar!).
Not only will the WLT be purrrrring with pleasure and gratitude if you hand over some dosh but they will be doubly purrrring as your money will be matched by that promised by other donors in the Big Cat Big Match.
The WLT has a very good reputation as a no-nonsense conservation organisation that gets in, gets things done and leaves the world a better place, with local people better enabled to carry on the good work.
The WLT Big Cat Big Match kitty is the purrrfect place for your conservation donation…
…don’t lose that loving feline…
…don’t paws to think about it…
Check them out and then donate here.

This is a terrific organisation, run by a dynamic team, doing more for worldwide conservation than any other outfit I am aware of.
Every penny you spend with them will be used wisely.
Jaguars are exquisite animals and it was a great thrill to see more than one on a recent visit to the Pantanal in Brazil.
The company that we travel with has a close relationship with the World Land Trust and with their help have bought land in Ecuador and undertaken the reforestation costs and management costs until 2025. We also visited that area a few years ago and it was great to see the work that was being undertaken and the use of local knowledge and labour.
WLT definitely an organisation doing great work and worth supporting.
Perhaps you could persuade the WLT, of which you are a Council member, to champion a cause closer to home – namely that of our native wildcat? Now confined to a few locations in Scotland, and rarer than the Siberian Tiger (and Giant Panda), it is in real danger of extinction, principally due to introgressive hybridisation with non-native domestic (especially feral) cats, see here – http://tinyurl.com/kby7uuf
Surely worthy of a concerted effort to save it from extinction?
