The purpose of this project is to protect the ecological connectivity of two core conservation areas in the Chaco Biosphere Reserve in northern Paraguay for two emblematic and endangered mammals: the Jaguar and the Chacoan peccary. Threats include increasing habitat fragmentation and degradation as a result of deforestation, illegal poaching and retaliatory killing. The project will reduce these threats by working within an existing forest corridor connecting Defensores del Chaco and Cerro Choroveca protected areas and ensuring that the corridor and the wildlife in it are protected. Activities include (1) promoting ranching operations that protect habitat, through financial incentives inherent in ecotourism and payments for environmental services; (2) promoting the use of tested techniques to reduce depredation from jaguars to reduce retaliatory killings; and (3) fostering a culture of environmental stewardship in the next generation by designing and providing the local schools with an environmental curriculum to instill in students an appreciation of the region’s rich biodiversity.

The Gran Chaco is the second-largest forest and second-largest jaguar (Panthera onca) stronghold in the Americas. In Paraguay, the Gran Chaco forests are threatened by deforestation at a rate of over 3,000 km²/year. As livestock moves into previously wild areas they are at greater risk for predation by carnivores, leading to retaliatory killing. Additionally, wildlife trafficking driven by Asian demand for wildlife products, including jaguar, is a growing concern. Measures to prevent a repetition of the case of Africa, where similar conditions led to the precipitous decline of its megafauna during the last two decades, are critical. The purpose of this project is to conserve the jaguar and its prey by addressing their main threats, including human-wildlife conflict, unsustainable natural resource practices, and illegal wildlife trafficking. Specific activities include implementing a “jaguar friendly” livestock certification model that reduces the costs of living with wildlife, supporting the Ministry of Environment to enforce the National Jaguar Management Plan, and engaging the formal education sector to promote the importance of preventing illegal wildlife trafficking in Paraguay, with an emphasis on jaguars.
