Save the Amazon: Protect Jaguars and Wildlife

Introduction 

We have seen through research we better understand the critical nature of the habitat to turtles, jaguars and other species listed as endangered or critically vulnerable in the red list of IUCN. There is still much we don't understand so our research is becoming more critical to help protect and save all these incredible species..

Report 

Through research and education we can help promote these amazing animals to the locals and help them take ownership in ensuring they are protected. This will not only impact our environment but will also create local income through regular tourism to visit these animals. It costs $25 for batteries for a camera trap which lasts 3 months.

Introduction 

We are very excited to be building a new partnership based in the Brazilian Pantanal, the worlds largest wetland and the best location in the world for wildlife tourist to come observe jaguars in their natural environment..

Report 

This year our partners are starting off a new project located at a cattle ranch that is also a ecolodge. Their ranch/lodge is located only 10km from a large city with 40k population. Since 2017 they have been occasionally setting camera traps there and since then have identified 12 individuals using this land. The thing about this lodge is they are surrounded by ranchers who aren't involved with eco tourism, not necessarily jaguar friendly and are annually losing their livestock to jaguar and or puma. Our goal here is to show our presence, give talks and workshops, and build a program where neighboring ranches pledge to be jaguar friendly and stop killing jaguars. In turn we will have a conservation tax that will be uses to help offset these losses for those who aren't working directly with ecotourism
