Communication and Activities
The Feline Conservation Federation publishes a bi-monthly magazine, hosts a private Yahoo chat list and web site. An annual convention is offered in July and locations are rotated around the country (USA).
Primarily focused on captive breeding to protect against extinction, the Feline Conservation Federation has developed a Feline Facility Accreditation program. In response to the issues that surround big cats, the FCF board of directors approved a Policy on Big Cats that discourages ownership by novices and those lacking proper facilities, knowledge and resources.
Concern for wild cats extends beyond those in captivity and the Feline Conservation Federation awards grants for research and conservation of felines in the wild.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
