The Vallarta Botanical Garden, located south of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in the state of Jalisco, has announced the establishment of a sanctuary to protect ocelots from poaching and habitat fragmentation. Santuario de los Ocelots (Ocelot Sanctuary) will create a safe space for the wild cats to live, swim, roam and hunt.
Vallarta Botanical Garden, one of Mexico’s leading botanical gardens, is surrounded by tropical dry forest. Founded in 2004, the Garden has been purchasing adjoining parcels of land to protect and preserve the area’s plants and animals.
Ocelots are medium-sized wild cats with black markings on fur that ranges in color from creamy white to light brown and grey. They can be found inhabiting tropical forests, mangrove swamps and savannas from the southwestern United States to northern Argentina.
