MISIONES - UPPER PARANÁ
Due to widespread deforestation, the Atlantic Forest’s jaguars now exist in a few isolated subpopulations. WWF is striving to boost jaguar numbers by reducing conflicts between jaguars and local people while conserving native habitats and preventing poaching.

SOUTHERN GUIANAS
This lushly forested landscape is home to thousands of jaguars. While it’s experienced relatively low rates of deforestation, gold mining and expanding agriculture have driven a recent rise in the loss and fragmentation of jaguar habitats. In Suriname and French Guiana, jaguars are also threatened by the illegal trade in jaguar parts, especially in mining and logging areas.
