We are Felis, a small NGO founded by passionate mammalwatchers dedicated to supporting conservation with a focus on small wild cats.
We aim to protect by collaborating with local communities with the goal to raise awareness and create value for key wild cat habitats.
During a visit in South Africa, our member @val_moser visited the Black-footed Cat project led by Alexander Sliwa in Benfontein Nature Reserve. These visits are very helpful for us - we can learn a lot for our own projects researching small wild cat ecology and conservation
To do this research on Black-footed Cats in South Africa, a dedicated team collecting experience over many years is key. Only patience brings insights into such elusive species.

Following our Brazil tour in July, we are very proud to be supporting @ProjectFelis and Ana. 😊Our donation allowed the publication of 200 extra copies of this wonderful educational book for children about the wildlife of Emas NP in Brazil. More here: projectfelis.org/brazil

We did this survey in the area of our planned #mammalwatching hide to better know what is around! Wild cat is a great sign😊
Highlights from #SnapshotEurope, a collaborative #cameratrap survey. Together with @ProjectFelis and @L_i_n_d_r_a this was a lot of fun!
Some nice species such as #Wildcat, locally rare Eurasian #Nutcracker, and curious #Badger

At the start of the month, the first international mammalwatching meeting was held in Asturias, Spain! 🇪🇸
Among the participants we had interesting discussions and presentations on responsible mammalwatching and how the community can contribute to #conservation
Right now, team #Felis is starting to implement our discussions - the results will be visible on the mammalwatching website soon. Stay tuned!
If you want to know more, listen to the latest mammalwatching podcast by Jon Hall and Charles Foley: mammalwatching.com/podcast/
Update for the mammalwatching meeting! We will try to have an online discussion round - please PM me if you are interested. Also, we had some late cancellations, so this is a last call for physical participation in the meeting in Spain!

This jaguar demonstrated the meaning of the term power, dragging this 8 ft long, armour plated, 74 toothed, chunk of contracting muscle out of the water. Jaguars are estimated to have the 5th strongest bite in the entire animal kingdom [source: buff.ly/2ubjlH4]
In Fall 2022, we are organizing the 1st Mammalwatching Meeting in Spain, starting on 30. September. If you are a mammalwatcher, conservationist or a scientist wanting to improve conservation outcomes by mammalwatching, join us! Few places left: projectfelis.org/mammalwatch…
