| Comments on conservation and status of the Jaguar in south America | |
| 1986 Full Book | |
Jaguar seem to be present in most Amazonian rainforest regions. But of many areas visited, jaguar were only common in one: Parque Nacional Manu. By "common" I mean that fresh jaguar sign could be encountered at least once a week, on average, within an area of 5 km2 or less. In regions other than Manu Park, fresh jaguar sign were seen every few weeks to every few months. There is a simple method to evaluate the jaguar population in a given area. Months of work may not produce a solid estimate of density. There is no easy way to calculate a population from a few tracks. |
