Protecting the Natural and Cultural Heritage of Eurasia

We envision a world with resilient, sustainable, transboundary ecosystems home to diverse wildlife and human cultures.

Every dog has its day, or so the expression goes, but so do cats! Arguably one of the lesser-known animal holidays (and one of several cat calendar observances) is International Pallas’s Cat Day, an educational and conservation-oriented holiday observed on April 23. Read on to learn more about the holiday’s honoree and support Pallas’s cat preservation.

HOW CAN YOU HELP THESE WILD CATS? To observe this cat’s holiday and to support long-term Pallas’s cat conservation efforts, we are raising funds toward our partner Manul Working Group (MWG) for their Adopt a Camera program.

Our Mission

To protect the interconnected web of wildlife on our planet, reverse losses of wildlife and habitats, and amplify the voices and concerns of Indigenous peoples and local communities across Eurasia.

Based in the United States, we seek to bridge gaps in knowledge, resources, expertise, and beyond in service of Eurasian ecosystems, wildlife, and communities. In collaboration with other international groups, experts, and community leaders, we support and encourage community participation in wildlife conservation, ecosystem protection, communities, and biological diversity. Our partners are generally people and organizations in Central Asia with whom we strive to nurture long-term relationships.
