Northern Jaguar Project

Located a short distance south of the U.S.-Mexico border, the 58,000-acre Northern Jaguar Reserve features an unparalleled mix of natural communities and wild landscapes. It is the centerpiece of the Northern Jaguar Project’s work and boasts the highest number of northern jaguar sightings in recent years, including females and their cubs. In addition to maintaining and expanding the reserve, NJP works with ranchers, schools, and local communities to promote effective jaguar conservation. Our primary goals are to: • Protect the northern jaguar population from illegal poaching, habitat loss, and other threats, • Provide a sanctuary of adequate size and location to best allow the jaguar population a future, • Rehabilitate essential landscapes on and adjacent to the reserve to enhance the jaguar’s prey base and habitat for native species as a whole, • Facilitate awareness, education, and conservation projects in local and regional communities, • Improve scientific knowledge of jaguars by promoting academic research and field studies, and • Help map and protect areas for jaguar range expansion and north-south corridors.
