CAT ACTION TREASURY'S FELIDAE
RESEARCH LIBRARY
Background reading for the upcoming IUCN Cats Red List evaluation in Oxford,
UK:
Nowell, K. 2002. Revision of the Felidae
Red List of Threatened Species. Cat News 37: 4-7.
This section of the CAT website contains documents relating to
CAT-sponsored projects.
Other online Felidae research resources are listed at the bottom of this
page.
As a service for the international cat conservation community, in
partnership with the Cat Specialist Group, CAT is building a digital
library of important wild cat research papers. There are now nearly
5,000 PDF documents available, and this number is still growing. CAT and
the Cat Specialist Group are grateful to the Bosack and Kruger Foundation
for their support which enabled the launch of the Cat Digital Library. Read
more about the Cat SG Digital Library and how to access it.
