A Global Commitment to Jaguar Conservation The jaguar, a vital keystone species, is facing a critical decline due to habitat loss and human conflict. In response, conservation organizations such as Panthera, WCS, WWF, and UNDP have launched the Jaguar 2030 Conservation Roadmap—a pioneering initiative uniting 14 jaguar range countries to protect these magnificent creatures. Key Strategic Pillars of the Roadmap: 1. Coordination Across the Range: Unifying efforts to enhance habitat protection. 2.National Strategy Development: Aligning local conservation actions with broader goals. 3. Sustainable Development Integration: Promoting eco-friendly practices that benefit both wildlife and local economies. 4. Financial Sustainability: Ensuring long-term funding to support ongoing conservation efforts. As Panthera gathered at the recent #CBD #COP16 in Cali, Colombia, we reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding jaguars and their ecosystems. Protecting jaguars means preserving biodiversity, supporting local communities, and ensuring a healthier planet for future generations. Let’s work together to make a meaningful impact!
