Stunning image of a Pallas’s cat captured in the snowy mountains of Tibet
photographed by Vincent Munier. Pallas’s cat kittens captured on Snow leopard
trust camera traps in the Zoolon Mountains, Mongolia. This Snow leopard trust
image is one of few that has helped confirm the Pallas’s cat presence in
Kyrgyzstan. Captive Pallas’s cats give zoo visitors a chance to engage with
zoological collections across the world that currently support PICA. PICA

OUR MISSION


Of the 41 cat species 34 are considered “small cats”, many of which are
threatened and lacking in knowledge and conservation action – the Pallas’s cat
is no exception. In order to improve our understanding of the species and at the
same time enhance the global conservation efforts, the Pallas’s cat
International Conservation Alliance (PICA) was established.

 

Currently our main focus is to advance conservation action for the Pallas’s cat
and to build capacity through implementation of the Pallas’s Cat Conservation
Strategy and by supporting the global network of the Pallas’s Cat Working Group.



CAPACITY BUILDING




Support the activities of the Pallas’s Cat Working Group and its members as a
global alliance for the conservation of the Pallas’s cat

CONSERVATION




Initiate and support urgent conservation actions highlighted in the Pallas’s cat
Conservation Strategy

AWARENESS




Raise global awareness to help support conservation efforts for the Pallas’s cat
and develop a funding mechanism for Pallas’s cat projects to support long-term
sustainability

STRATEGIES




Work towards the inclusion of the Pallas’s cat Conservation Strategy in regional
and national management plans







CONSERVATION
AND
RESEARCH




A major challenge for small cat conservation is establishing effective
conservation strategies for species we know little about. Although field studies
with Pallas’s cats have increased over recent years we are still in a position
where we know very little about the species’ ecology, behaviour and in some
areas even its true distribution. PICA has, for this reason, created four key
areas of focus so that targeted action can take place over multiple fronts.
