Project Wildcat works with ranchers in northern Sonora, Mexico to create a 35,000 acre wildlife corridor for jaguars, ocelots, mountain lions, and more. Without urgent help, the jaguar population will continue to decline at an unsustainable rate.
There are only an estimated 80 jaguars left in Northern Sonora, Mexico. This endangered population is the last hope for the species' reintroduction into the US. In the past three years alone, 8% of Sonora's jaguar population has been killed by ranchers in retaliation for these predators eating their livestock. This is due to the decrease of inhabitable land for natural predators, which they so desperately need.
Project Wildcat is working with ranchers to create a 35,000 acre wildlife corridor for jaguars, ocelots, mountain lions, and more.Your donation will help us work with ranchers who have agreed to refrain from killing jaguars and other predators in exchange for training, supplies, and equipment to protect their cattle. Join us to defend these incredible animals. ~~All photos on this page were taken with our wildlife cameras!~~
Project Wildcat's goal is to be a model for cattle ranching and jaguar protection and prove thatrancherscancoexist with these majestic creatures. Let's make sure the small jaguar population of the Sky Island region is not lost and continues to grow!
