Community program
Living with Lions
Though Felidae Conservation Fund conservation activities span the globe, we are based in the Bay Area. Pumas and their smaller cousin, the bobcat, face problems that are specific to highly urbanized areas. One of the main conservation issues that threatens pumas is a lack of education, which can lead to a misunderstanding of these beautiful creatures and their important role in the ecosystem.
Educating California and Bay Area Communities
Community Program
- Focus Species: Lynx rufus (Bobcat) , Puma concolor (Mountain Lion)
- Location: San Francisco Bay Area
- Project Status: Ongoing
- Project Start: 2021
Our education and outreach program is geared towards educating residents of the Bay Area and California about these wild cats that share our backyards, their role in the ecosystem, and how we can all help the conservation of the Bay’s remaining predators.
Those who are lucky enough to call the Bay Area home are also lucky enough to live with lions. Though urbanization and growing human populations can be a problem for our wildlife, Felidae hopes to teach others that coexistence with these animals is necessary for the survival of these keystone species.
