Jaguar Study Peten
Mirador in northern Guatemala comprises one of the last large intact humid rainforests left in Central America – 600,000 acres in the heart of the Maya Biosphere Reserve. Mirador’s natural habitats provide one of the last biodiversity sanctuaries for over 40 threatened wildlife species, 200 native and migratory birds, 300 species of trees and 2,000 different flora. In May of 2007, the Wildlife Conservation Society’s team, lead by Roan McNab, and funded by FARES and GHF, conducted the first biological study ever conducted in this area. A network of infrared, motion-detection cameras was set up to capture wildlife and in particular Jaguars, roaming within the southern portion of Mirador Basin, known as La Gloria Logging Concession. This photo tour link shows film developed late May, 2007 and are the first ever photos of these endangered species taken within this region.
