Dr. Jeffrey Thompson of the Jaguar Program of Guyra Paraguay will talk about jaguar conservation during a seminar at 3 p.m. in Hardin Hall Auditorium at the School of Natural Resources.
*The talk*
Human pressures on a dwindling number of population strongholds for jaguars in Paraguay are increasing the need for conservation efforts that mitigate the cats’ killing so extinction can be avoided.
Jaguars, the largest cat in the Americas, utilize large ecosystems to survive, and researchers with the NGO Guyra Paraguay have shown conservation of jaguars is highly dependent on private ranch land and reduced deforestation. Opportunistic or retaliatory killing of jaguars in response to livestock depredation also must be curbed, as it is a principal cause of mortality for the species in the region.
