The mission of the Central American Oncilla Project is to conduct research and support conservation of oncillas in Panama and Costa Rica.
Central American oncillas are a unique species of little spotted cats native to Costa Rica and Panama. Very little research has been conducted on this species to investigate its distribution, abundance, and risk of extinction. Thus, timely research and conservation of Central American oncillas is vital.
The Central American oncilla project is using noninvasive genetic methods and camera trapping to study oncillas in Panama and Costa Rica in efforts to conserve this unique small cat.
