Pantheralia, the Dionysian festival of wild cats, is approaching again this year, and I'd like to repeat our donation drive for wild cats! This will be our fourth annual Pantheralia Fundraiser!

Dionysus is often seen with various flavors of these animals - lions, tigers, leopards, and other flavors of wild kitties. Unfortunately today many of these animals today face existential threats to their species, especially tigers. Tigers have seen three of their nine subspecies go extinct.

Last year we raised $430 for Panthera, which is more than double what we raised for the WWF in 2022 ($196) (Which was more than double what we raised in 2021, $76.50). This year we are starting our base goal at $500, but could we perhaps pull another double? Let's find out!

Two years ago we were also blessed with more good news - estimations of tigers in the wild have improved in accuracy, and that improvement in accuracy has resulted in there being 40% more tigers in the wild than previously anticipated. The estimate, as of two years ago, is 3,726 to 5,578 tigers in the wild. Let's do what we can to see those numbers grow.

Let's make sure the Dionysians of tomorrow live in a world that still has his favorite animals in it!

Earth Day is April 22. To celebrate, make a donation to help us protect wild cats and their habitats during our Wild at Heart campaign, running April 1-22.

As top predators, wild cats help maintain nature’s balance by regulating prey populations, preventing overgrazing, and keeping food chains in check — all of which protect habitats from degradation. They also serve as indicators of healthy forests that store carbon, making them key allies in the fight against climate change. Their presence is a powerful reminder of the deep connections within our natural world and the urgent need to protect these landscapes for generations to come.
