Review for Northern Jaguar Project, Tucson, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a professional biologist with strong interests in protecting ecosystems using approaches that work with people in the environment. For about the last 5-7 years, I have been keenly impressed by the work of the Northern Jaguar Project and have donated to them regularly. They have acquired a substantial region for habitat, have surveyed and are cognizant of many creatures within the property to try to promote besides the keystone jaguar species. As I can attest from various exchanges with their staff, they are informed by current studies and experiences in wildlife conservation and enhancing compatibility with human populations in the areas of environmental justice and sustainability. Importantly, the group is actively working with the landowners and residents around the preserve over a number of years to understand, educate and work with on behalf of the unique habitats of the region. This latter part is hugely crucial and Northern Jaguar Project has been a leader in working collaboratively with the residents. Lastly, NJP has their heart deeply in their work on behalf of wildlife and people. One way this is show is that they operate on a very modest administrative budget for their salaries and staff.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Thankfully, the jaguar in the US where it had been decimated is receiving some new habitat and species protections through US Fish and Wildlife. I urge the group to work with others to apply their expertise to advance the jaguar and its ecosystems to help restore to a healthy ecosystem population in the US.
