Membership in the WFA is beneficial to felid researchers, managers, conservationists and educators alike. The WFA offers connectivity with peers, professional meetings, and updated information on projects and news pertaining to wild felids. Annual memberships run from January 1 – December 31 or July 1 – June 30 and include 2 issues of the Wild Felid Monitor as well as access to back issues of the Monitor using the member’s personal log-in.
Starting with the Spring 2026 issue of The Wild Felid Monitor, WFA will no longer provide the newsletter in paper format. All current members will receive the newsletter in PDF format and will continue to have access to all past issues of the newsletter by logging into their account on the WFA website.
Connect. Learn. Conserve.
