The projects that AGA members are carrying out have the goal to contribute to the conservation of the most threatened feline in the Americas and one of the least known worldwide.

Our ambition is to promote the Andean cat as a “flagship species” to promote the conservation of the Andean mountain ecosystems where the species inhabits and to play an important role in the improvement of life quality of local communities.

For this reason, fundamental components for achieving our goal are research, environmental education and support to the management of wild areas. Since 1998, when we began research projects, mainly to know the geographical distribution of the Andean cat, thanks to the support of donors and institutional support al the local level, we accomplished significant results that allowed us to enhance our knowledge on the distribution of the Andean cat and on some aspects of its ecology, as well as, to develop projects on environmental education and community participation.

Still, there are left many places to explore, themes to investigate and work to do with the local communities, which will allow us to develop and to strengthen existing projects and conservation plans. We need your support to be able to continue with these tasks and achieve our goal step by step:

To assure the long-term survival of the Andean cat by ensuring the existence of viable populations and the integrity of natural habitats, which is also the habitat of thousands of Andean communities that live in those remote areas.
