| Status of Jaguars in the State of Tamaulipas | |
| 2011 Book Chapter | |
In Tamaulipas, jaguar populations still remain. However, due to anthropogenic factors such as habitat loss and by poaching, the distribution of this felid has been affected. For twelve years, data about jaguar presence on different locations within the State, have been recorded through interviews and surveys to local people and field visits. Recently, available habitat analysis was conducted using LANDSAT imagery, to identify the remaining locations with the largest amount of jaguar habitat. An area of available jaguar habitat for the state of Tamaulipas was estimated of about 1,110,878 ha, being the Sierra Madre Oriental and the Sierra of Tamaulipas the areas with the greatest habitat availability. This suggests that this jaguar population has some chances for long term persistence. |
