Participatory research and technological tools for insights on the jaguarundi
2023 Cat News (78): 36-38
We conducted a questionnaire using the Participatory Research PR approach on Google Forms to collect information and data on the jaguarundi _Herpailurus yagouaroundi _for the IUCN Red List Assessment RLA. We collected information on ecological and conservation aspects from 69 participants from 18 countries, covering most of the species' range and gathering novel information. So, the method proved to be efficient in collecting the needed data for the RLA. Although this technique will be improved over time and with more experience, we encourage researchers dealing with similar situations to consider this method as an additional source to obtain data from species where scientific or published information is scarce.
