Saving the Kodkod or Guigna
Read Big Cat Rescue's Daily Updates on Wildcats in the Wild at Field Projects
Dr. Jim Sanderson is someone who shares our belief
that the money should go to the
animals
and not be wasted on salaries and benefits for those who are doing the fundraising. If
you contact him and say you want 100% of your donation to go to the Guignas
or Kodkods in the wild, that is exactly what will happen.
Dr. Jim Sanderson has been responsible for igniting a passion in local peoples for the Guignas or Kodkods. He works with teams of local scientist to camera trap and gather information on these rare wild cats all around the world. He goes a step further and gets the people in the area to take pride in their natural resources so that they will help to protect these small cats that are on the brink of extinction.
Dr. Sanderson is working to establish six high priority long-term research sites in Bolivia, Borneo, Cambodia, Chile, China, and India. He also supports the efforts of alliance colleagues in Argentina, Brazil, India, Sarawak, Suriname, and Vietnam. Sustained camera photo-trapping efforts will enable him to monitor the populations of small cats and to detect changes in their population trends. Dr. Sanderson's resourceful methods - carrying out arduous research with very limited resources - are the hallmark of a true entrepreneurial scientist.
