Panthera

Thomas S. Kaplan notes that "Panthera is a public charity founded in 2006 by my wife, Daphne Recanati Kaplan, and myself. With offices in New York and London, the founders and directors of Panthera conceived of it as a unique vehicle: an integrated approach to the broad spectrum of challenges facing big cat conservation, from ensuring a pipeline of future scientists to species survival to recognition of high achievers in the field. The three founding directors were Dr. Thomas S. Kaplan, who serves as the Chairman; Dr. Alan Rabinowitz, who is now Panthera’s CEO; and Michael Cline, who serves as both a Director of Panthera as well as the originator of Tigers Forever, our flagship project for the species. "
