 | | These miniature felines are found in every corner of the world, living in protected reserves, in high-altitude mountain ranges, in jungles and forests, and in close proximity to human populations. |
 | | Like their bigger cousins, small cats are threatened by the loss of valuable habitat and prey, indiscriminant killing, and conflict with humans, livestock and domestic animals. |
 | | Jim conducts his own research, focusing on the Andean mountain cat and the guigna, and collaborates intensively with local scientists and volunteers who are leading work on other small cat species around the world. |
