Uniting Big & Small Cat Conservation for Resilient Wild Landscapes (2022–2027)
This pioneering GEF-supported project, led by MoEF&CC in collaboration with UNDP, integrates the conservation of small wild cats into India's big cat protection framework. Spanning key landscapes in Uttar Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan, the initiative promotes a unified, landscape-level approach that is inclusive, scalable, and community-driven. By aligning ecological needs and empowering local stakeholders, the project strengthens the resilience of globally significant wild cat habitats.
