Production
We have currently raised R230,000, but still require R270,000 in production costs and R200,000 for post-production. Our unique funding scheme means that, upon sale of the film, the amount raised from donations for the makingof the film from proceeds will go back into Panthera, the world’s leading big cat conservation group. Currently we expect to donate at least R230 000 to Panthera. 100% of donations to Panthera go into the field.
Panthera
Dr. Luke Hunter, Panthera’s President, established the Panthera’s Munyawana Leopard Project in Phinda Private Game Reserve in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Tristan Dickerson heads up the project.
Panthera has brought together the world’s leading wild cat experts to direct and implement effective conservation strategies for the world’s largest and most endangered cats: tigers, lions, jaguars and snow leopards. Their approach to wild cat conservation is rooted in science and based upon decades of first hand field experience.
Panthera seeks a future in which the world's 37 wild cat species have the necessary and ongoing protection from human and environmental threats to persist and thrive in the wild. Their vision sees endangered wild cat populations rebounded, critical habitats and core populations connected by genetic and biological corridors, and a global commitment to protect these iconic species through near and distant futures.
