Panthera’s Camera Traps Capture Jaguars On Colombian Oil Plantations

From Red Orbit:

The first ever photographs of jaguars within an oil plantation in Colombia have just been released...

Panthera, the world’s leading wild cat conservation organization, focuses solely on the study and conservation of wild cats. The camera traps placed by Panthera in the Magdalena River valley were meant to gather information about the dangers of Colombia’s growing oil plantations on the jaguar populations. Panthera’s objective is to understand how the plantations affect the jaguar’s ability to move throughout its habitat, reproduce, and the effects on species that the jaguars prey on.
