We're delighted to announce the launch of our completely redesigned website, a digital home that better reflects our work documenting and conserving Pakistan's fishing cats and small wild cat species.
What's Changed
Our previous website served us well, but it's time for something new. This redesign comes as we've expanded our research across eight species, grown our team, and deepened our partnerships with conservation organizations and local communities across Sindh, Punjab, and Balochistan.
Why Now?
Over the past five years since IFCP was founded in 2021, we've made discoveries that changed how Pakistan's wildlife agencies, funders, and media understand the fishing cat. We've documented species distributions that were previously unknown, built relationships with sanctuary wardens and local communities, and established camera-trap networks that continue to reveal rare sightings.
Our old website couldn't adequately showcase this growing body of work. We needed a digital space that could tell our story clearly, from our first confirmed fishing cat photograph in 2021 to our 2025 caracal and sand cat records. We wanted to share fieldwork visually through camera-trap images and research data proving these species still survive in Pakistan. We needed to connect with supporters and help researchers, funders, and community members understand how they can participate. Most importantly, we wanted to reflect our values, grounded in the wetlands, reed beds, and desert landscapes where we work every day.
What You'll Find Here
Our Work section provides a detailed look at camera-trap surveys, distribution research, community partnerships, and conservation efforts across Pakistan's eight small wild cat species. Recognition shares press coverage, field milestones, and the organizations supporting this work. Our Partners showcases the global alliances, funders, and local teams making conservation in Pakistan possible. Contact provides multiple ways to reach us if you've seen a fishing cat, want to partner with IFCP, or have questions about our research.
Looking Ahead
This new website marks the beginning of our effort to strengthen IFCP's digital and social media presence. We're committed to sharing regular updates from the field, publishing research findings and conservation insights, amplifying the voices of our local partners and community collaborators, and building a global community invested in Pakistan's small wild cats.
We invite you to explore, learn, and connect with us. Whether you're a wildlife researcher, conservation professional, journalist, or someone who simply cares about the survival of these remarkable cats, there's a place for you in this work.
The fishing cat is the last major predator of the Indus flood plains. With your support, we can ensure it stays that way.
