Save Big Cats!
Lions across Africa have declined to about 20,000. As few as 3,000 wild cheetahs roam Namibia and only 6,000 snow leopards remain in the Himalayas. National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative has been able to support pilot programs that effectively combat the poaching, poisoning, pesticides, and habitat loss that are eradicating big cats. They know what to do to save big cats and they need your help so that they can fully implement these conservation techniques. We have not a day to lose.

whuphf asked: Thank you so much! I would def rather donate to a place where it uses most of the funds and not a small percentage :)
Not a problem! It seems the general consensus is that if an organization is spending 75% or more on their programs, they’re doing a pretty good job : )

whuphf asked: I donate a certain amount of month to a different charity and I love that list of charities that you posted! Do you know what percentage of your donations is actually used? Like charitywater used 100% of your money,but some charities only use like 50% and the rest goes to pay their employees and for administrative costs and what not.
Great question! Here is what I could find out:
ETA: The Northern Jaguar Project responded to let me know that 93% of donations fund conservation projects, with the remaining 7% going towards administration and fund raising expenses.
