Review for Northern Jaguar Project, Tucson, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I spent some time this spring volunteering for NJP, doing photo documentation of various areas of the reserve to show the changes in plant communities over time after the removal of cattle from the land.
It is great to watch the Northern Jaguar Reserve return to a wild state after centuries of grazing. It was also great to see the work they are doing to speed the recovery of riparian habitat. It's a large undertaking, but NJP is doing a lot with very little. I support their work 100%

Review for Northern Jaguar Project, Tucson, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I believe that the work NJP is doing has a direct and lasting impact for Jaguars in Northern Mexico and the Southwest US. I have worked as a volunteer for NJP on and off for the last five years both in the field assisting staff and scientists and in the office. NJP wastes no time or effort tooting their own horn, but instead this group puts its effort and its money where the greatest benefit to the ecosystem can be achieved.

Review for Northern Jaguar Project, Tucson, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I recently traveled to the Northern Jaguar Reserve to do some volunteer work for NJP. I was taking photos at specific sites to track vegetation changes over time and to chart the recovery of the land since the removal of cattle from the reserve. Between the changes in vegetation and the increase in the "camera trap" records being collected of prey species and jaguars alike, it's clear that the work NJP is doing is having a substantial effect.
The work they're doing could very well be the key to Jaguar recovery in this region, not to mention the benefit to countless other species.
Bring back the Jaguar! Support NJP!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

seeing the recovery of the habitat they are protecting with my own eyes.

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

Get them more volunteers.
