The Felidae organization was formed in early 2006 to advance the conservation of wild felids throughout the world. Felidae unites a critical momentum of focus, ambition, intellect, skill, and global strategic action. In an exceptionally productive 6 years, we have raised the bar in felid conservation and have become an established influence in the protection of wild felids. Your contribution will help us grow and extend our reach for tangible conservation gains, and forgethe critical relationships that will ensure long-term viability for the world’s wild cats and the healthy ecosystems they sustain.
Felidae’s multipronged approach combines forward-looking research, education and technology to discover new approaches to in situ felid preservation, and reach worldwide audiences through technology and social media. We partner and provide leadership for world-class research studies, supplying strategy, planning, funding, media, field support and assistance with logistics. With our innovative interactive education programs we share data and learning from these studies with the public in a way that’s engaging and inspiring.

If you enjoy hiking and are interested in wildlife this is a great volunteer opportunity for you! The Bay Area Puma Project maintains a large-scale and long-term network of wildlife cameras in the San Francisco Bay Area and Orange County since 2023! We are looking for volunteers to help us maintain these cameras used to monitor wildlife. This involves hiking to a camera trap in a protected area every 4 weeks to collect and exchange the SD card and batteries. Volunteers will receive training in the field before visiting a camera station on their own. Previous experience with ecological data collection is a plus but not required.
Note You must have your own transportation as cameras are not accessible by public transport. You must also have a reliable internet connection in order to upload camera trap images to our Cloud-based database every 4 weeks.
