Oh StudyThe scientists of over 20 organizations are conducting Chico Mendis Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBIO), Used Photographic loops And statistical models to map the density of cat breed population.

From 2005 to 2020, researchers were supervised Jaguars In the conservation departments of Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador. The average density is three ounces per 100 km², but according to the space.

The Mamirao Sustainable Development Reserve (AM) records almost ten ouns every 100 km long, but the Qirous Biological Reserve (AM) is less than one place. There is a difference due to the abundance of food in areas like Flood groundsIn contrast to nutrients IgapsWith poor soils.

OS Men Are found more frequently than FemalesDue to the largest area of ​​displacement for intercourse and protection of the territory. A. Human stressMeasured by the human footprint index, which is a complex aspect. In areas of faded areas, Jaguars require 30% higher territories to survive, which indicates a shortage of resources.

Forest eradication and fires threaten the population of jaguars

Despite the results, the study warns the species of threats. The Logging And the Fires Na Amazonian Increase pressure on biodiversity. In Brazil, it is estimated that over 1,500 jaguars have been displaced or killed in the last four years The residence of Perda de. A. Illegal hunt Bait and the Illegal trade Jaguars are also worried.

Researchers recommend expanding Monitoring Integrating continuous, technology and indigenous knowledge. Protection of areas such as the Andes-amazon interface and the flood grounds of the Amazon River Illegal miningThis is crucial. This study highlights the necessity of financial resources, technical and political groups Antifogo.

For ICMBIOThe importance of the data will strengthen the data National Action Plan for Jaguar ConservationIt was forgotten Population MonitoringThe fight against Environmental crimes And the Community Base Tourism In the conservation units, according to the co -co -ordinator of the study of the ICMBIO/CENAP, according to Ricardo Vigio.
