The International Big Cat Alliance was envisioned as a global initiative by India to focus on the protection and conservation of seven major big cats: Tiger, Lion, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Puma, Jaguar, and Cheetah. The alliance seeks to foster international cooperation, knowledge sharing, and capacity building among range countries to address threats like habitat loss and poaching. It aims to integrate conservation efforts with the sustainable development of local communities residing in these habitats.
