About The Mountain Lion Foundation
Formed in 1986 as a volunteer coalition that focused on conserving mountain lions in California, the organization now addresses lion protection across the United States. The Mountain Lion Foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization and our mission is to ensure that America’s lion survives and flourishes in the wild.
The organization’s programming focuses on public education, policies and management strategies that support thriving mountain lion populations, and peaceful coexistence with these amazing and ecologically important animals. The Mountain Lion Foundation relies on the best available science to inform the decisions that guide lion protection. More information about the organization’s programs is available at mountainlion.org.
