Pride in Our Prides: Part of the Cats Challenge Grant

If you hadn’t noticed at the top of our campaign page, this fundraising effort is actually a part of Experiment.com’s “Cats Challenge Grant.”

Experiment staff hand-select researchers studying cats big and small from around the world, and invited them to participate in this friendly online competition. And yours truly was one of them!

The challenge is simple. The project with the most backers will receive an additional $1,000 grant on behalf of the Experiment.com team. The two runner-up projects will receive $250 each, directly on their campaign page. Winners will be announced and awarded the grants on June 10, 2016.

This means, that although there are 16 days left until our campaign ends, we only have 8 days to be the project with the most backers! We are currently in second place with 38 donors! Please support our efforts and help spread the word about our page! To everyone that has already contributed to our project, we cannot thank you enough for your support.

About This Project

CLAWS Conservancy

Lions and people live a tenuous coexistence. When lions kill livestock, villagers retaliate with poison, which indiscriminately removes lions and other wildlife. Through Pride in Our Prides, communities have named local lions and followed their daily habits to learn their individual stories. Through satellite tracking, we also provide early-warnings via text when lions approach the village. So far, this system has successfully protected livestock and lions while halting the use of poison.

Blast off!
