Global Alliance for Big Cat Conservation
Summer 2016 Project Update
The Worldwide Indigenous Science Network (WISN) continues our work with Big Cat Conservation, working with indigenous elders connected to the big cats they hold sacred as well as with scientists and conservationists from around the world.
In the month of May, WISN hosted meetings with Li Quan, founder of a China Tiger Revival, an organization committed to bringing tigers back to China, to discuss plans for future collaboration between the two organizations. WISN also connected Li Quan with jaguar shaman Tashka Yawanawa as well as another jaguar conservation organization based in Oaxaca, Mexico. The organization in Mexico is developing a program similar to Li Quan’s to rewild jaguars in captivity and restore them to their natural habitat.
Finally, WISN produced a video with jaguar shaman Tashka Yawanawa, to spread his message about mother earth and what’s happening during these times. We have included a link to this video.
