Big Cats Decline?

Learn more about the decline of Large breed cats. All of the large cat breeds throughout the world are declining because of things like:

RETALIATORY KILLINGS:

Conflict between livestock herders and big cats have left the animals vulnerable to retaliatory slayings.

ILLEGAL HUNTING:

Some hunters target big cats to fuel a market for illicit products. 

LOSS OF HABITAT:

As human populations increase, the amount of natural hunting ranges and habitats for big cats declines.

There are things that we can do to help them, and National Geographic is trying to save them all before it is too late. So find out what you can do to help these poor creatures! Photo: Close-up of a leopard cub
