Introduction
Jaguars, along with other amazing wildlife, are threatened with extinction in the Amazon rainforest. A number of issues threaten the Amazon that includes human conflict, unethical tourism, deforestation, poaching and illegal hunting, climate change and disruption of the natural food chain. With so much of the Amazon being lost so quickly habitats are close to becoming extinct and many plants are being lost that could provide potential medical cures
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. Along side this we aim to fund critical conservation research to influence leaders to act now before it is too late. We only have one chance and it must start now. A donation of $20 keeps our cameras going for 6 weeks.
Thank you for your support
