ABOVE The jaguar – here captured

as the dry season rolls into

Marismas Nacionales – is ailing,

but the fight to save it is not over.

Many organisations, such as Alianza

Jaguar AC, are working tirelessly

to safeguard the species’ future in

Mexico. In addition, with the jaguar

now listed on both Appendices of

the Convention on the Conservation

of Migratory Species of Wild

Animals, the hope is that the cat will

benefit from increased protection

and connectivity of its habitat – not

just in Mexico, but throughout its

entire range in the Americas.
