Resumen
The Andean cat Oreailurus jacobita, which only inhabits the high Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru, is one of the most threatened and least known cats in the world. In 2004 the Andean Cat Alliance published the Andean Cat Conservation Action Plan, which identified human persecution as the primary threat and listed the design and implementation of a global educational campaign as a priority for the long-term conservation of this rare felid.
