FRAGMENTATION
OF ITS HABITAT

Deforestation and urbanization have caused the fragmentation of its habitat. This lack of connectivity keeps jaguars from finding food and mating. If its kingdom keeps fragmenting, the species will be on an irreversible path towards extinction.

The artist Alvin Huayllas painted the mural Jaguar, I want you alive, located in one of the most frequented areas in La Paz, Bolivia. The mural shows the greatness of the feline and its value as an umbrella species. The protection of these species benefits the conservation of biodiversity in general.

The Mbaracayú Forest Nature Reserve and the Morombi Nature Reserve are the last two remnants of the Atlantic Forest in Paraguay where jaguar populations still live. Unfortunately, the feline’s ability to move freely in these areas has been reduced. Together with local communities, WWF aims to improve the connectivity of these landscapes and the livelihoods of the people living in them.
