Education for ecological salvation
Understanding is the key.
At its core, both the wild and captive big cat crises are fundamentally issues of greed and a need for education. Once being made aware of the suffering of big cats, few people would continue to engage in activities that lead to such abuse. However, there is a lack of communication and clarity regarding the truth behind big cat conservation today. The best way that you can begin making an impact on big cats today is by first educating yourself, and then spreading that knowledge to others within your communities. Below are some valuable resources to begin your journey now.
