Скачать или смотреть How Cats Are Harming the Planet

They look innocent. But outdoor cats are one of the leading human-driven threats to wildlife.
Globally, free-ranging cats kill billions of birds and mammals every year — and have driven dozens of species to extinction. On islands and sensitive ecosystems, the impact is catastrophic.

Why does this happen? Because cats hunt instinctively, even when they’re well-fed. Their presence creates constant ecological pressure — a silent crisis unfolding in cities, backyards, and nature reserves worldwide.

What can you do?
✔ Keep cats indoors or build safe outdoor enclosures (“catios”).
✔ Support humane programs to reduce feral cat populations through trap-neuter-return (TNR) and public education.
