The Wild Felid Research and Management Association

Through generous support from The Summerlee Foundation, the Wild Felid Research and Management Association (WFA) has been given the opportunity to award 2-3 grants, ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 each, to well-deserving projects on wild felids in Latin American countries. WFA is looking for projects that will have a tangible impact on wild felid species and habitat conservation through: the application of biological information; education of, and outreach to, local communities; and/or implementation of innovations that reduce human-felid conflict and encourage coexistence.
