RSC Guardians

Rusty-spotted Cat Guardians

The Rusty-spotted Cat Guardians are local community members who protect one of the world’s smallest wild cats, along with other small wild felines. Living right near the forests and farmlands where these animals live, they watch over the cats, rescue lost or injured kittens, and teach their neighbors how to live peacefully alongside them. Members of the Rusty-spotted Cat Working Group work closely with these RSC guardians to execute field-level conservation activities.
