Andean Cat Alliance

The Andean Cat Alliance (AGA) protects one of the rarest and most elusive cat species in the world, the Andean cat. There have only been ten sightings of Andean cats within the last 25 years, making efforts to study them quite challenging. With less than 1,400 adult cats remaining in the wild, AGA’s work across Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru is crucial to the survival of this species. AGA employs a multinational approach to address threats to the cat’s habitat, which, coupled with the involvement of local communities, provides the most impactful strategies to ensure this remarkable cat has a future in its home in the Andes Mountains.
