Review for Northern Jaguar Project, Tucson, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was lucky enough to visit the Northern Jaguar Reserve this winter. We spent our days checking wildlife cameras, exploring the different reaches and geographies of the reserve, admiring wildlife tracks along the riverbank, and sleeping deeply under the brilliant Sonoran stars, leagues away from the developed world. The reserve staff are as smart as they are passionate, well aware of the importance of the work they are doing.

What struck me most is that NJP's work protects so much more than just the jaguar. The reserve holds an incredible diversity of plants and animals unlike anywhere I've ever been. The reserve is a refuge for jaguars, but by protecting suitable jaguar habitat, they provide wild spaces for so may more species to thrive. Wildlife cameras we checked had photos of ocelot, mountain lion, bobcat, and many other species.

NJP is a humble but effective organization doing critical work with limited resources.
