Membership
The
Cat Specialist Group consists of leading international scientists and wildlife
managers involved with the 37 species of wild cats. It is one of over 120
similar specialist groups forming part of the Species Survival Commission of
the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Members serve as honorary advisers to the
Union and recommend listings for the Red List of Threatened Animals. They
provide data on wild animals and plants for the United Nations Environment
Programme/World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge, England, and
advise governments which are Party to the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
The
Cat Specialist Group does not manage projects, but, in their individual
capacities, members are involved in research and in the development and
implementation of conservation programmes and projects.

conservation of wild cats to contribute to a fund to pay for production of CAT
NEWS and for any other purpose which will advance the aims of the group.
