She was crossing a pasture, and when she spotted us she just stared, while the cubs ran for shelter. It is impossible not to get excited when you see them walking through Iber\u00e1.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pascual P\u00e9rez\u2019s voice cracks when he remembers that fleeting encounter. Born in Mburucuy\u00e1, a small town in the north-east Argentine province of Corrientes, he is the coordinator of the Carambola gateway, one of the entry points to Iber\u00e1 National Park. The national park and the adjoining Iber\u00e1 Provincial Park make up the largest wetland in the country. Seventy years ago, the jaguar <em>(Panthera onca) <\/em>was declared extinct in this region, but now the species is returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reintroduction began in 2015, when the first female arrived at enclosures owned by the Rewilding Argentina Foundation (FRA) on an island inside the park. After being acclimatised at the reintroduction centre, individual animals were progressively released over the following years. The population has continued to grow with more releases and cubs being born in the wild among the marshes and flooded areas \u2013 although this year, the park has suffered during <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/agriculture\/370215-la-nina-ends-but-drought-exposes-deeper-problems-for-argentina\/\">a severe drought<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-map-embed block--map-embed\"><div class=\"block--map-embed__column\"><div class=\"block--map-embed__embed aspect-ratio--16-9\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/202305_Ibera-drone-footage-jaguar-Mariua_SebastianNavajas_FundacionRewildingArgentina_DJI_0470.mp4\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"block--map-embed__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--map-embed__caption\">Drone footage of Mariua, a female jaguar, in the Iber\u00e1 National Park. The park has more than 750,000 hectares with plenty of prey available and hardly any risks for the jaguars (Video: Sebastia\u0301n Navajas \/ Rewilding Argentina Foundation)<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight now, there are 16 free individuals, although there might be 21, as there are females that are of maternal age, but we have not yet been able to confirm whether they have had cubs,\u201d reports Sebasti\u00e1n Di Martino, FRA\u2019s Director of Conservation. Agust\u00edn Paviolo, coordinator of Proyecto Yaguaret\u00e9 [Project Jaguar], which is studying how the return of the jaguar is changing the ecosystem, agrees: \u201cThe density of jaguars on the island must be the highest in the world. It won\u2019t be long before they begin to disperse throughout the rest of the national park.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jaguars in Argentina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Argentina is the southernmost point in the distribution of the largest cat in the Americas. Originally, its presence extended as far south as Patagonia. \u201cHistorical records indicate that there were jaguars in the provinces of Buenos Aires, La Pampa, San Luis and throughout C\u00f3rdoba,\u201d says Ver\u00f3nica Quiroga, a biologist at the University of C\u00f3rdoba. Today the situation is very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from Iber\u00e1, the species is only found in three areas in the north of the country, in very different ecosystems. From east to west: the Atlantic Forest, where the population is shared between the province of Misiones and two national parks across the border in Brazil; the dry Chaco bordering Paraguay; and the southern section of the Yungas, mountain forests that extend from Bolivia. According to the government\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.argentina.gob.ar\/sites\/default\/files\/ficha-yaguarete.pdf\">Department for Wild Fauna and Biodiversity Conservation<\/a>, the total population does not exceed 300. Jaguars face multiple threats that differ depending on the location, which means that conservation efforts must be multiplied and diversified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image block--article-image--article\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"hide-expand block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230630_jaguar-habitat_Argentina_EN.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230630_jaguar-habitat_Argentina_EN-768x626.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230630_jaguar-habitat_Argentina_EN-1024x835.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230630_jaguar-habitat_Argentina_EN.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2560px\" alt=\"A map showing Jaguar habitat in Argentina\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230630_jaguar-habitat_Argentina_EN.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"681 KB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"2088\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2560\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe jaguar is for us a walking national park and our responsibility is to protect it even outside what we know as protected areas,\u201d says Federico Granato, president of the National Parks Administration, an agency under the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development. The task is plagued with difficulties, despite some encouraging developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest survey carried out in the so-called \u201cGreen Corridor\u201d, which includes Misiones and the Brazilian parks of Igua\u00e7\u00fa and Turvo, was <a href=\"https:\/\/v3.esmsv.com\/campaign\/htmlversion?AdministratorID=42702&amp;CampaignID=361&amp;StatisticID=295&amp;MemberID=2663&amp;s=3f8fce8ffe571be8f3f30ce91d76ef90&amp;isDemo=0\">published<\/a> in June. It suggests that the jaguar population in the area has remained stable at around 90 individuals for the last six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am not disappointed,\u201d says Paviolo, one of the researchers in charge of the study. \u201cIt is true that, depending on the region\u2019s carrying capacity [the number of individuals that an ecosystem can support according to the needs of a species], this figure could double, but it is clear that we have reached a point of equilibrium between human pressures, conservation areas and the productivity of the animal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been some good news in other regions too. \u201cIn the Yungas, camera traps inform us that the distribution of the species is spreading to places where it had not been recorded before,\u201d says Granato. In the Chaco \u2013 where no more than 20 individuals survive \u2013 in the last two years the presence of three males has been confirmed for the first time in many years. But each case also has its dark side, and none of the populations are safe from new and potentially fatal setbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-map-embed block--map-embed\"><div class=\"block--map-embed__column\"><div class=\"block--map-embed__embed aspect-ratio--16-9\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/new-sighting-jaguar-Chaco_FundacionRewildingArgentina_IMG_0068.mp4\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"block--map-embed__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--map-embed__caption\">A new sighting of a male jaguar in the Chaco, where there are no more than 20 individuals, an amount that \u201cecologically is equivalent to extinction,\u201d according to one expert (Video: Sebastia\u0301n Navajas \/ Rewilding Argentina Foundation)<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Within Argentina, the Yungas occupy areas of the provinces of Jujuy, Salta, Tucum\u00e1n and Catamarca. Jaguars could once be found in all of them, but are now <a href=\"https:\/\/sib.gob.ar\/archivos\/Plan_Jaguar_Yunga__Version_final_Dic15.pdf\">only distributed over 22%<\/a> of the territory, exclusively in Salta and Jujuy. Even so, it is the largest population in Argentina \u2013 between 150 and 200 individuals according to <a href=\"http:\/\/mn.sarem.org.ar\/wp-content\/uploads\/SAREM-SBMz_MastNeotrop_26-2_14_LodeiroOcampo.pdf\">an estimate<\/a> that is more than a decade old. An update is awaited, and not everyone is optimistic: \u201cThe real figure could be lower. The last two specific camera-trap studies, one in 2013 and the other in 2021, gave worryingly low densities,\u201d says Soledad de Bustos, director of the El Pantanoso protected wildlife area, which belongs to the Biodiversity Foundation, a local NGO, and is located next to Calilegua National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ver\u00f3nica Quiroga is also sceptical about what is happening in the Chaco: \u201cWe continue to receive reports of tracks or sightings, but this does not mean that the jaguar population is recovering,\u201d she says. In large part, it was the work she led some years ago that made it possible to conclude that the population was no more than 20 \u2013 \u201can amount that is ecologically is equivalent to extinction\u201d, according to the specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-challenges-for-the-jaguar\">Challenges for the jaguar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last December, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infobae.com\/sociedad\/2023\/02\/08\/mato-un-yaguarete-y-se-jacto-del-aberrante-hecho-en-las-redes-fue-detenido-por-caza-ilegal\/\">killing<\/a> of a large male jaguar in Clorinda, near the border with Paraguay, made headlines across the country. The Red Jaguar Foundation managed to track down the hunter through footage uploaded to his Facebook account, although so far no sanction has been imposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunting continues to be one of the main threats to endangered species in Argentina. \u201cIn the towns and small cities of Misiones it is a weekend recreational activity that is still deeply rooted,\u201d says Paviolo, and the situation is similar in Formosa and Chaco. \u201cIn the Yungas, the jaguar preys on cattle, which occupy practically all the space,\u201d explains de Bustos. \u201cSo the owner of those cows goes out to kill it, even as a precautionary measure, as soon as he detects tracks in his field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born and raised in Iber\u00e1, Omar Rojas lives on a cattle ranch next to San Alonso Island, where jaguars now roam freely. \u201cIf you asked my neighbouring ranchers what they thought about the return of the jaguar, they\u2019d tell you that they would kill it,\u201d he says. He adds that now farmers know they should inform the parks department if they see evidence of a jaguar in their fields, but also warns that \u201cif a jaguar attacks a cow, there could be problems with the ranchers\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image block--article-image--article\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"hide-expand block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230710_footprint-new-sighting-jaguar-2022-MirandaVolpe_FundacionRewildingArgentina-24.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230710_footprint-new-sighting-jaguar-2022-MirandaVolpe_FundacionRewildingArgentina-24-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230710_footprint-new-sighting-jaguar-2022-MirandaVolpe_FundacionRewildingArgentina-24-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230710_footprint-new-sighting-jaguar-2022-MirandaVolpe_FundacionRewildingArgentina-24.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2560px\" alt=\"A jaguar footprint in the Chaco region, Argentina\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">A jaguar footprint indicates a new sighting in the Chaco region.

Environmental education campaigns have been promoted, lights erected to dissuade the big cats from approaching livestock pens, and recorders installed to detect gunshots in hunting hotspots. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0006320722001537\">seven-month survey<\/a> of 90 such sites, across more than 9,500 square kilometres of a green corridor straddling Misiones and Brazil, detected gunshots in 43 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tourism has also been promoted with the same objective. \u201cThe arrival of travellers discourages the presence of hunters,\u201d says Sebasti\u00e1n Di Martino: \u201cWe noticed it in El Impenetrable National Park [in Chaco]. In the first year of opening the campsite, the number of visitors went from almost no visitors to 3,000, and the increase in the movement of people along the Bermejo River had the effect of reducing the number of shots detected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn Barit\u00fa [National Park, Salta province], the national parks administration set up a community corral that is built in such a way that it prevents the entrance of the jaguars and allows the neighbours to group their cows there without risk,\u201d says Granato. \u201cWe have already started to build a second corral and the idea is to add more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, poaching is not the only threat. Car accidents are frequent, especially on the roads that cross the jaguars\u2019 range in Misiones. There, in addition to speed control radars and warning signs, a digital patrol system (<a href=\"https:\/\/ecologia.misiones.gob.ar\/el-smart-se-consolida-como-aliado-tecnologico-de-los-guardaparques-de-la-reserva-biosfera-yaboti-y-del-parque-provincial-urugua-i\/\">SMART<\/a>) is used to facilitate the collection, storage, evaluation and automatic communication of traffic data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most serious of all is the issue of deforestation and habitat fragmentation. As Ver\u00f3nica Quiroga says: \u201cThe change in people\u2019s perception of hunting will be of no use if the jaguars are left without forests to live in.\u201d Jaguars, solitary and territorial animals, are great roamers. They can travel up to 40 kilometres a day and control areas ranging from 5 to 500 square kilometres without encountering competition. In the Chaco alone, the extension of the agricultural frontier towards the north of the country has devastated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.argentina.gob.ar\/sites\/default\/files\/desmontes_y_alternativas-julio27.pdf\">more than 6 million hectares<\/a> of native forest since the 1990s, and although the pace has slowed, deforestation continues. Indiscriminate logging has cut off any connection between the Yungas and the Chaco, and threatens to isolate the Bolivian Yungas from their extension in Argentina, as well as the two sectors where the species is still present in the province of Salta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-article-image aligncenter block--article-image block--article-image--article\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><div class=\"block--article-image__column\"><div class=\"hide-expand block--article-image__image\"><img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230710_corral-jaguars-El-Impenetrable-Chaco-FundacionRewilderingArgentina_00001.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230710_corral-jaguars-El-Impenetrable-Chaco-FundacionRewilderingArgentina_00001-768x449.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230710_corral-jaguars-El-Impenetrable-Chaco-FundacionRewilderingArgentina_00001-1024x598.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230710_corral-jaguars-El-Impenetrable-Chaco-FundacionRewilderingArgentina_00001.jpg 2560w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 768px, (max-width: 1024px) 1024px, 2560px\" alt=\"A corral to prevent the entrance of the jaguars and allows the neighbours to group their cows in El Impenetrable National Park, Argentina\"\/><\/div><div class=\"block--article-image__content\"><div itemprop=\"caption\" class=\"block--article-image__caption\">A corral in El Impenetrable National Park, in the Chaco, set up to help the jaguars mate and increase their population (Image: Rewilding Argentina Foundation)<\/div><\/div><\/div><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20230710_corral-jaguars-El-Impenetrable-Chaco-FundacionRewilderingArgentina_00001.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"contentSize\" content=\"2 MB\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1496\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"2560\"\/><meta itemprop=\"author\"\/><meta itemprop=\"representativeOfPage\" content=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have been working on a report on Pantanal-Chaco connectivity with people from Bolivia and Paraguay and we realise that we are running out of corridors,\u201d warns Quiroga. \u201cThe large population centres of jaguars in Paraguay are increasingly isolated, disconnected from the Argentine Chaco and southern Bolivia. This is a key moment, and we need there to be no more deforestation because under the current conditions the jaguar will have no chance of recovering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federico Granato, the president of the National Parks Administration (APN), points to fragmentation as the main problem in Misiones: \u201cThe generation of islands where only specimens of the same lineage reproduce among themselves can generate long-term genetic disorders that end up exposing the population to various diseases,\u201d he explains. In 2021, his institution <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telam.com.ar\/notas\/202205\/594024-gobierno-fortalecer-areas-protegidas-birf.html\">received US$60 million<\/a> through an agreement with the World Bank and decided to use half of this income to strengthen biological corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spite of everything, there is room for optimism in the four areas where the jaguar survives. Pascual P\u00e9rez adds reasons to be hopeful in Iber\u00e1: \u201cHere the jaguar does not have the threats that exist in other parts of the country. Between the national and provincial parks, there are more than 750,000 hectares with plenty of prey available and hardly any risks, because we are far from important urban centres. It is a magical place for the species to continue growing.\u201d Agust\u00edn Paviolo also trusts in the passage of time: \u201cCultural changes regarding hunting will inevitably come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jaguar, defined as a \u201cnational natural monument\u201d of Argentina, lives in a critical state but is not completely lost. The next 10 years will determine the success or failure of the will to save it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reintroduction efforts have helped the population to grow in parts
