Jaguar Conservation Organizations

Jaguar conservation organizations focus on protecting jaguars, which are threatened by habitat loss, fewer animals to hunt, and human-wildlife conflicts. These groups work to preserve rainforests and other critical habitats, establish wildlife corridors, and reduce conflicts through community education and programs like livestock protection. They also conduct research to monitor jaguar populations and support anti-poaching initiatives.

Center for Biological Diversity

At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants.

Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.
