The Species and its Habitat

The Andean cat is one of the most threatened wildcats in the world. Its unique adaptations to the arid landscape transform the species in a perfect ambassador for biodiversity conservation of earth´s last wild places: the high Andes and northern Patagonia.

The Sacred Cat of the Andes

The Andean cat is considered by native cultures as a protective spirit of the mountains. The close relationships with local communities is expressed by the existence of numerous petroglyphs in various parts of its distribution.

The distribution of the Andean cat spans over four countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru. The Andean cat inhabits arid and cold environments of the high Andes, Puna, and southern Andean steppe.
