Wild Cat Conservation Centre

Ben Britton is the Director of the Wild Cat Conservation Centre in the beautiful Hawkesbury valley, one hour north west of Sydney, Australia. Our 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 our understanding of them.

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

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