Hello Supporters!
Life in the Amazon sounds like paradise right? Well it is but it does come with its challenges for our team based in the wild working around the clock to help protect and preserve all wildlife that resides in the Amazon. From ongoing research monitoring through camera traps that have been funded by your donations we have been able to build up a real picture of the behaviour of the Jaguars and other animals living in the rainforest.
From research it is clear that although the Jaguar is top of the food chain in the Amazon, humans are their biggest threat and have already caused a significant decrease in their population. Like many other animals around the world conflict with humans is the biggest battle and while outreach, education is essential it is simply not enough to stop the decline in population fast enough.
Our research along with others clearly shows that protected areas are essential to the survival of the rainforest habitat and all wildlife including the Jaguar, therefore donations moving forward will continue to fund camera traps as our research needs to be kept up to date to provide the education and awareness but we also need to find new funds and resources to expand current protected areas and introduce others within the amazon.
This will be our priority as a team moving forward, our staff live a very ristic and basic life and dedicate their time around the clock to this critical research and tracking program and this is made possible by the support of you and others like you that value us as a team - we thank you!
Until next time!
