The Rocky Mountain Cat Conservancy (RMCC) is dedicated to promoting wild cat conservation through research and community stewardship. Despite the mountain lion being one of the top three predators in North America, along with the grizzly bear and wolf, surprisingly there have only been a few studies on this keystone species. With human-mountain lion encounters on the rise, there is much we don’t know about this elusive cat, especially along the urban-wildland interface.
One thing is certain, the mountain lion and other wild cats face a future of ever decreasing wildlife habitat. RMCC was founded on the belief that a higher degree of coexistence can be achieved through proactive, strategic research, education and community involvement.
RMCC operates within the CAT – the Cat Action Treasury (www.felidae.org) a nonprofit fund for the conservation of wild cats in their natural habitats. CAT supports projects endorsed as high priority by the IUCN – World Conservation Union’s Cat Specialist Group. CAT is an IRS-certified nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity. All donations are full tax-deductible.
