As jaguars disappear, experts look for survivors
From this article I learned that jaguars actually live here in the U.S, yet are few , therefore are rarely ever seen. Fortunately jaguars still occupy 45 percent of their original range.Even though this sounds great the numbers are dropping over the years and in some places such as Uruguay and El Salvador they have lost the jaguars all together.
After reading this article I must admit I was puzzled why any human would want to harm these "majestic cats," but after more consideration I realized when I see a spider in my house I see it as a threat so I am one to talk. This made me understand a little better why if a feline half my height randomly crossed someones path it might alarm them. Protecting your life is one thing but money is not! Imagine if you were a jaguar poacher, would you ever ponder on the fact that your grandchildren may never get to see a jaguar if this misunderstandment doesn't cease? Does it bother you? Well it does me, and I believe any human with a soul and in their right mind can find some sympathy for these potentially extinct animals.
After watching a movie called the Princess Protection Program it got me thinking, why don't we have a jaguar protection program , but that's just it! We do created by Panamanian biologist Ricardo Moreno is an organization called Yaguará. Yaguará aims to study and protect jaguars in Costa Rica and Panama.
Unfortunately today I did not invent a new idea but I did get a new perspective on jaguars!
