The goal of this fund is to identify projects that will help reduce the decline of African big cats in the wild.

BCI conducted an evidence-based analysis to assess big cat conservation in Africa, identify funding gaps, and determine a focused engagement strategy for lion conservation funding (Jacobson and Riggio, 2018).
