Bay Area Bobcat Project
Fragmentation of habitat is a major threat to wildlife populations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. With this project we will learn more about species movement in several locations in the Santa Cruz and Diablo Mountain ranges. This will enable us to make informed recommendations to land managers and roadway engineers concerning location of wildlife corridors to help protect local ecosystems.

Tsavo Cheetah Project
Kenya has been identified as one of the last remaining strongholds for the cheetah, making it an essential refuge for the future of the species. Researcher Cherie Schroff and her team are evaluating the population and conservation status of cheetahs in the greater Tsavo ecosystem and implementing long-term conservation solutions, in order to ensure their long-term survival.

Argentina Puma Project
There is a population of pumas that is both on the edge of extinction and at the edge of the species' distribution range in the southernmost part of South America. The threats have recently intensified in this region in Eastern Argentina where pumas are increasingly scarce.

Bay Area Puma Project
The Bay Area Puma Project (BAPP) is the first large scale research, education and conservation program for pumas in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. BAPP's primary goal is to increase knowledge, understanding and awareness about Bay Area puma populations, in order to help foster a more harmonious relationship between humans and the natural world.
