The IBCA's formation was a response to the urgent need for a global collaborative approach to big cat conservation. By bringing together range countries, conservation partners, and scientific organizations, the alliance fosters a united front against the threats to big cats. It stands as a testament to the power of international cooperation in preserving our planet's natural heritage for future generations.
Our main goal is to foster collaboration and synergy by establishing a platform dedicated to sharing best practices in big cat conservation. This platform will serve as a central hub for technical expertise and a collective fund pool, aimed at improving habitats and boosting the populations of both prey and big cats. IBCA aims to provide immediate protection, conserve or restore habitats, and prevent or minimize adverse effects of activities that act as impediments for long-term viability of big cat species.
By doing so, we seek to ensure a sustainable future and counteract the negative effects of climate change. Conserving big cats and their habitats helps preserve the ecosystems and the entire plethora of biodiversity, which supports life on Earth.
