Researchers challenge common assumptions about the impact of pet cats on threatened wildlife, highlighting evidence that human-related hazards and other preventable threats account for far more wildlife rescues

This article explores new research showing that human activities, not pet cats, are the leading threat to injured and orphaned wildlife, highlighting the importance of evidence-based conservation and targeted approaches to urban cat management.

New research reveals pet cats account for only a small proportion of threatened wildlife admissions, highlighting the need for conservation efforts to focus on the greatest human-related threats to biodiversity.

Research highlights that human-created hazards are responsible for most threatened wildlife rescues, calling for greater focus on preventing the major causes of wildlife injury rather than disproportionately focusing on cats.
