🐾𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐬 📸 How can you tell if your threat mitigation programs are working if you don’t have a way to measure success? Trail cameras act as our scoreboard, showing us what’s happening in the wild and helping us track progress. Trail cameras are a window into the secret lives of wildlife, especially elusive species like small wild cats. These tiny yet powerful tools help researchers: •Monitor populations and behaviors •Understand habitat use •Detect threats like poaching •Create conservation strategies tailored to each species By capturing their movements without disturbing their natural behaviors, trail cameras play a crucial role in protecting these beautiful yet vulnerable creatures. 🌿📸 Let’s give small wild cats a voice through science and technology! Join Us in Saving These Extraordinary Species: By donating to our exotic cat species conservation projects, you become an integral part of our mission to protect these remarkable animals. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their future. https://bit.ly/3C1dqrB Video courtesy: Ocelot Working Group #BigCatRescue #ConservationMatters #Conservation #SavingSmallWildCats #SavingWildlife #WildlifeResearch #TrailCameras #SmallWildCats #ProtectOurPlanet #Biodiversity #CaroleBaskin

Meanwhile, the majestic Colombian Massif still serves as a refuge for the oncilla, while the puma silently roams the vast expanses of the Paraguayan Chaco fleeing the reprisals of ranchers. The pampas cat pads stealthily among the remaining dry forests of Southern Ecuador and Northern Peru, while the ocelot, a medium-sized cat of nocturnal habits, attempts to camouflage itself in remnants of the Atlantic Rainforest in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. All these scenes allude to the same problem: a group of cats trying to survive in shrinking territories. 🌎While the range of these five felines is large and many of them inhabit protected areas, science has shown that to maintain healthy populations there needs to be connection between individuals. In addition to protected areas, they also need access to biological corridors to make contact with other unrelated cats. 🌿This is why it is increasingly important that these corridors are either fully protected and have sustainable resource management plans in place to ensure free movement of species. 🌳“Establishing corridors is one of the best opportunities, and in many cases the last or only opportunity, for fauna and flora to coexist in landscapes dominated by humans, that is, where plants and animals have the opportunity to move around, improving their chances of survival in the long term,” says José Fernando González Maya, Scientific Director of the Water and Land Conservation Project (ProCAT) and Co-President of the Small Carnivore Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Journalists from five countries, coordinated by Mongabay Latam, chose five biological corridors distributed between Peru, Ecuador, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Colombia and Brazil to expose the threats faced by five felines that are crucial to Latin American ecosystems. 🔆One of the most important findings was that in each of these places, corridors aim to ensure the conservation of felines by reducing the risks they face, including reprisal hunting, habitat loss, vehicle collisions and the incursion of feral or domesticated dogs in their places of refuge.”… Read the entire article at the 🔗⬇️ https://bit.ly/4j66Wbu #BigCatRescue #Conservation #ConservationMatters #WildlifeConservation #Wildlife #WildCats #NativeWildlife #NeedToKnow #Cat #CaroleBaskin

Jaguar populations are at risk from retaliatory killings by farmers, who see them as pests endangering livestock, especially in the Brazilian Pantanal, where about 90% of the land is privately owned by cattle ranchers. Yet jaguars are vital for sustaining healthy ecosystems — and surprisingly this tapeworm parasite may help highlight this importance. Adult Spirometra live harmlessly in jaguars and pose no danger to humans. However, in their larval stage — found in feral hogs (both prey for jaguars and a food source for people living in the Pantanal), other animals and water sources — they can cause sparganosis, a severe infection in humans that can invade the eyes, brain or other body parts, sometimes proving fatal. By preying on hogs, jaguars help curb the spread of this dangerous parasite. They also offer researchers a window into the region’s environmental health and parasitic risks. “If you wouldn’t have jaguars, who would eat the feral hogs and other larvae carriers?” Raad, whose research was completed in December 2024 but hasn’t been published yet, told Mongabay. “Jaguars are saving lives. They are being a bioindicator, telling humans that this parasite is here and can affect them too.” Conservationists are using this evidence to reframe jaguars as essential allies in ecological balance and public health. Since October, Raad, in partnership with local ranch syndicates and wildlife conservation NGOs WWF and Ampara Silvestre, has organized five workshops across the Pantanal to promote coexistence with jaguars. At the Pousada Piuval eco-lodge and cattle ranching property, a key spot for his research, he’s given lectures highlighting the benefits of jaguar conservation and practical strategies to protect cattle from predation. These sessions also educate locals on safe water practices from natural resources, a common source for the local drink known as terere, and proper preparation of bushmeat, such as feral hogs, to mitigate the risk of sparganosis.”….
