An initiative by Singapore Wildcat Action Group to support TRAFFIC Southeast Asia
TRAFFIC Southeast Asia has launched the Protecting Asian Cats from Trafficking and Trade (PACT) project to enhance protection for wildcats in Southeast Asia by strengthening enforcement agencies' and prosecutors' capacity to combat wildlife crimes.

ABOUT SWAG
While not all of us are Singaporean, we all call Singapore home.
We are passionate about the conservation of all wildcat species and we have a special love for the Malayan tiger.
We believe in taking meaningful action that helps us achieve our mission of building grass-root support for wildcat conservation and to realize our goal of raising funds to protect the world’s last 200 Malayan tigers living in the wild.
We are a group of volunteers who joined forces in 2019 with a belief that together, we can multiply our efforts and compound our results.
WE ARE SINGAPORE WILDCAT ACTION GROUP
What We Do
We raise awareness of wildcat conservation through events such as the Wildcat Lecture series and the Singapore Tiger Week. See more at our Learning Centre.
We recruit volunteers to take direct action to protect wildcats and their habitats in Singapore and Malaysia and to combat illegal wildlife trade throughout the world.
We educate children about wildcats and nurture in them a love for wildlife through our Little Tiger children's book series and by hosting Little Tiger Wildcat Parties.
We raise funds for wildcat conservation through curated campaigns and activities and sales of SWAG merchandise.
Our Structure
Entirely run by volunteers, all funds raised and donations collected are channeled to our conservation partners to ensure maximum impact.
As a conservation organisation, we work hard to be carbon positive. We believe in walking the walk when it comes to protecting our natural environment not only philosophically, but operationally too. Read our most recent sustainability report.
