“At a time when many #bigcat species around the globe hang on by a thread, w/ some populations hovering in the dozens, the future of the resilient #jaguar shines bright, thanks to the dedication of the governments & people sharing their homes with this big cat.” – @quigley_howard

The Jaguar 2030 New York Statement also proposes the creation of an International Jaguar Day. We commend all of the attending countries for their vision of an international collaboration to protect #jaguars and all of the biodiversity they support. bit.ly/2oZKsPj

...and resolves to share research and data, invest more in nature-based solutions for development challenges linked to #jaguars, and engage local communities and indigenous people as partners who stand to have their livelihoods strengthened.

Muli was rescued by our #TigersForever partner @TamblingID, released into the wild, where she is thriving thanks to world-class law enforcement. Thank you, @GoPro, for raising awareness of wild tigers' plight, telling this hopeful story! We're proud to partner w/ #GoProForACause. teapaw.org/GoPro/status/938860114…

Amazing sightings already in Jofre Velho in the Pantanal. Jaguar tracks along the road, and actual sightings along the river.

Conservation efforts must continue, increase to slow or halt decline in #snowleopard population, potential worsening of extinction risk.
