Happy National Cat Day! Today is the day to celebrate all cats.
Beverly and Dereck Joubert have a special place in their hearts for big cats. They created the Big Cats Initiative in partnership with National Geographic. Below you can watch Beverly and Dereck Joubert’s TED Talk on their life lessons from big cats.
You can help cats by donating to the Big Cats Initiative and by signing the Big Cat Public Safety Act. Download the Wildlife Witness app to help TRAFFIC fight the illegal wildlife trade.
You can help all wildlife by watching your carbon footprint, getting involved in community and citizen science and assist on science projects around the world through Zooniverse. You can learn more about using renewable energy. Use wood that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Download the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo app where you can search products to see if they use sustainable palm oil and are a member of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
Make sure you celebrate all cats (wild and/or domestic) every October 29th!
