"A rare sighting of a mother Andean cat guiding her kitten through rocky terrain was captured on camera traps in the high Andes above Santiago, Chile. Both videos show the same mother and kitten.

These elusive cats are among the most endangered wildcats in the Americas. With fewer than 1,500 individuals, their limited range and small population make them highly vulnerable.

Alianza Gato Andino @alianza_gato_andino works to protect these wildcats through research, education, and conservation efforts in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru."

El esquivo gato andino, conocido como el "Fantasma de los Andes", enfrenta el peligro de extinción. Su presencia fue registrada recientemente en el Santuario de Yerba Loca gracias a la Alianza Gato Andino y Greenpeace Chile. Con solo 1400 individuos en edad reproductiva, su conservación es crucial ante amenazas como la expansión agropecuaria y la minería.

Andean cats are kind of like unicorns. There has only been 10 recorded sightings in the past 25 years that conservationists have been studying them. Our partners at the Alianza Gato Andino - Andean Cat Alliance (AGA) surmount incredible challenges every day to unearth the mysteries surrounding this gorgeous feline. Most AGA staff have never laid eyes on an Andean cat. Yet to them it represents all that is wild and beautiful in the Andes. AGA was the first to capture and radio collar an Andean cat and uses its increasing knowledge of the cat for conservation education and the growth of protected areas.

The endangered Andean cat (Leopardus jacobita) is a small wild feline native to the high Andes. . Fewer than 2,500 individuals are thought to exist in the wild. . This mountain cat is found only in the rugged heights of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. . It is one of the least known cats in the world and is the most threatened feline in the Americas. . The Alianza Gato Andino (Andean Cat Alliance) is a group of volunteers working to contribute to the knowledge and conservation of the Andean cat and its habitat through innovative strategies in research, conservation, community participation and support in the management of wild areas. . Their vision is the conservation and long-term protection of Andean cat populations and their habitat, existing in harmony with humans. . These volunteers dedicate much of their free time to the protection of this beautiful and extremely rare cat, despite the fact that they will likely never see one in their lifetime. . Filming one of the most elusive and least known cats worldwide is incredibly difficult, but the documentary, Seeking the Andean Cat, is currently in the works. . Photo by Cristian Sepúlveda C. of the Andean Cat Alliance . In the video you can see a female that the AGA has been monitoring for more than three years. Footage was captured by a camera trap from the Conflict Mitigation Program in the central Andes of Chile, Coquimbo Region. . @alianza_gato_andino @andeancats @savetheandeancat @cristian_sepulveda_c #gatoandino #andeancat #cameratrap #wildlifeconservation #endangered #leopardus #wildcat #chile https://www.instagram.com/p/ByF9bhdBsOn/?igshid=106sxwlr2meyb

Using Dogs to Save Cats

When an angry farmer gripping a shotgun yells, you listen. Jorge had lost his temper, but conservationists from Andean Cat Alliance (Alianza Gato Andino - AGA) were accustomed to working with upset farmers; they protect endangered Andean cats in “high conflict” zones where farmers typically loathe wild cats and try to eliminate them. There are less than 3,000 Andean cats in the world and saving them hinges on farmers’ support; so, when farmers yell, AGA pays attention and makes their concerns a priority. This is how they started working with Jorge. Jorge’s farm is in Coquimbo, a narrow region of northwestern Chile where the Andes run closest to the sea. In just one year, he lost 100 goats—a sizable portion of his livelihood—to a series of mountain lion attacks. Jorge was angry with conservationists for protecting animals that could make a meal of his goats. That was three years ago, today he is the first farmer to participate in AGA’s livestock guarding dog program in Chile. Just a bit heavier than a housecat, an Andean cat is far too small to kill a goat. They eat mostly viscacha, rather adorable bunny-like rodents. However, when bigger predators, like mountain lions, attack livestock then farmers seek retaliation against any carnivore they find; Andean cats are killed regardless of their guiltlessness. So, an important way to protect Andean cats is to help farmers safeguard their livestock from larger carnivores. When they can use trained dogs to protect their livestock, farmers no longer target Andean cats—this is how Jorge changed from adversary to pro-conservation participant in AGA’s livestock guarding program. As Jorge and other farmers became involved, AGA had to then obtain a suitable breed of dogs for their program. Anatolian shepherds have excellent features and temperament for guarding, but are essentially nonexistent in Chile. Luckily, while studying for his Ph.D. in the U.S., AGA member Rodrigo Villalobos located a breeder with puppies in Oregon. Amongst the litter, Rodrigo found one who stood out as especially bright and affectionate, the perfect dog for Jorge. Though she was born thousands of miles from Chile, AGA fittingly named her “Andean”—Andean is now learning to guard goats on Jorge’s farm.

The human-wildlife conflict that AGA is addressing through their livestock guarding dog program is a major threat to wildlife around the world. WCN partners Cheetah Conservation Botswana (CCB) and Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in Namibia have successfully solved conflicts between cheetahs and farmers for years through similar programs, so Rodrigo plans to visit CCB and CCF this spring to learn from their expertise. Through this cross collaboration, Rodrigo can take knowledge from Africa and adapt it to the Andes, ensuring AGA keeps livestock secure, farmers happy, and Andean cats thriving.

I contributed UNITY yesterday for this years "Dia de la Fauna Nativa“- Livepainting Event at Museo Nacional de Historia Natural , invited by Jane Goodall Institute Chile , Alianza Gato Andino and Conaf Chile. UNITY is inspired by the wise words of Jane Goodall : … Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it that we can destroy the only planet we have? Every Individual matters. Every Individual has a role to play. Every Individual makes a difference. Thats why we must create a world where we can live in harmony with Nature. … ALL TOGETHER & UNITED ... #Unity #theartofpau #DiaDeLaFaunaNativa2016 #InkOnWood #JaneGoodall #JaneGoodallInstituteChile #Conaf #alianzagatoandinoaga #ProjectWallflowers #MuseoNCionalDeHistoriaNaturalChile #MNHNcl #Chile #Santiago #santiagostreetart #livepainting #paintsession #pachamamalove #artivism #alimentoparaelalma #StayWithHumanity (hier: Chilean National Museum of Natural History)

"A rare glimpse of a mother Andean cat guiding her kitten through the rocky terrain, captured on camera trap footage in the high Andes above Santiago, Chile.

Living high in the Andes Mountains, these small but mighty cats are one of the most threatened cats in the Americas, facing threats from habitat loss and climate change. Alianza Gato Andino @alianza_gato_andino is working to protect these endangered wildcats through research, education, and conservation efforts across Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru."
