Wild Cat Conservation Centre

Ben Britton is the Director of the Wild Cat Conservation Centre in the beautiful Hawkesbury Valley, one-hour northwest of Sydney. The centre in Wilberforce focuses on the preservation and conservation of wild cats of the world, including the only conservation breeding program for Clouded Leopard and Cheetah in Sydney. With a strong focus on the plight of small cats and to improve the understanding of them.

Of the 40 cat species, 33 are considered small cats and many of these are threatened by a lack of knowledge about their behaviour, biology and conservation.

Visitors to the centre can learn about the conservation breeding programs and research efforts to conserve these smaller though enigmatic wild cat species.
