Urgent Current Programme

Southern Pumas in Argentina & Chile are at GREAT risk. The population of Pumas is declining alarmingly.

Our current programme is dealing with this by enrolling the landowners of Argentina and Chile to help preserve the Puma despite the depredations the puma makes by killing sheep and guanacos which are the lifeblood of the landowners.

In return for not killing or trapping the Pumas we will compensate enrolled landowners participating in our scheme who submit claims for compensation where Pumas have killed the livestock of the landowner. We then have the co-operation of landowners. In fact we have their enthusiastic participation.

In addition, we know from the compensation claims the dates and locations of Puma killings of sheep and guanacos and this allows us to plot the numbers of Pumas and their territories.

All of this is valuable data essential for conservation. Everyone gains.
