Fishing Kittens Spotted!

These adorable Fishing Cat kittens were spotted on a camera trap deep in the Cambodian mangrove forests—a sign of life and resilience in a challenging habitat. These vulnerable cats face threats like poaching, but thanks to the dedication of our partners at Fishing Cat Ecological Enterprise (FCEE), their future looks brighter.

Camera traps not only let us celebrate moments like this but also help us detect and combat poaching to protect these incredible animals. Together, we can safeguard their home and ensure they thrive! Join us at the International Conservation Fund for updates on the amazing work of our field partners!

Our partners, including the Fishing Cats Ecological Enterprise (FCEE), the Kayapo, and Osa Conservation, are using camera traps to monitor and protect wildlife. These tools are efficient, cost-effective, and non-invasive, providing invaluable insights while preserving natural habitats.

Fishing cat in Cambodia
The FCEE story starts in 2015 with the first ever photo of the threatened Fishing Cat in coastal Cambodia, spurring our work to protect the species. Today, our goal is to protect and restore habitats that fishing cats call home. We’re protecting and reviving Cambodia’s mangroves for communities, biodiversity and climate adaptation.” – Vanessa Herranz Muñoz of FCEE
