I am working on a @ナショナルジオグラフィック Jaguar story and a NG Wild film with @bertiegregory .One way to mitigate jaguar / cattle issues is by putting buffalo in the herds, seen here on Panthera’s Jofre Velho Fazenda, as jaguars hate buff as they kick and attack them. Jaguars are the 3rd largest of the big cats. Found from US / Mexico border to northern Argentina. They are one of the most secretive cats on the planet - which has been important for their survival. Jaguars have rebounded in this area where 95% of the land is privately owned. In the past many ranchers would kill the cats when they ate their cattle. Today in this area tourism brings in much more money to the local economy than cattle ranching. So the jaguar population is increasing. But revenge killings of jaguars happen close to this area and all throughout the jaguars range. Also poaching for skins, bones and teeth is growing for the first time since the 1970’s to feed the demand for Asian Traditional Medicine and luxury items from endangered species.
Jaguars love the water and here in the largest wetland in the world, the Pantanal of Brazil-jags spend much of their life swimming and hunting in the rivers.
Forests and grasslands provide us with up to 50% of the oxygen we breathe - oceans the rest. They give us 75% of the fresh water.
If we can save the forest of the Amazon and other areas in Central and South America for the JAGUAR and Puma. The forests of Central Africa for the leopard, lion, elephants etc. And the forests of South Asia for the Tigers and Leopards. If you save the top predator in any ecosystem you save everything that lives with them.
So if - We Save Big Cats we can help Save Ourselves.
National Geographic launched the Big Cats Initiative to raise awareness and implement change to the dire situation facing big cats. Please visit CauseAnUproar.org to become involved in saving big cats!
