Jaguar Guardians Rally to Protect Belize’s Biggest Cat | WILD HOPE

- Jaguar populations are falling worldwide, but the big cats are thriving in Belize, where one-third of the Central American country is protected habitat - but even this paradise isn’t perfect.
In Belize, the jaguar’s remaining refuge is divided into two big chunks of land: one in the north, and one in the south. These rainforests are connected by a narrow, six-mile corridor of forest, outside of which danger lurks for the giant cats. Known as the Maya Forest Corridor, this bottleneck in central Belize helps jaguars migrate, keeping their populations free from inbreeding. But the forest is shrinking, as mining and agriculture advance, and jaguars find themselves in dangerously close proximity to people. Conservationists are racing against time to preserve this corridor-and hopefully, to expand it.
Researchers and activists are identifying the secret routes the elusive jaguars take through this corridor. Using hundreds of camera traps, wildlife biologist Emma Sanchez has observed the behavior of jaguars and successfully mapped their many pathways. In Runaway Creek, a nature reserve in the heart of the Maya Forest Corridor, ecologist Ray Cal uses another approach: radio collars. These tools track the cats’ movements-and tell conservation organizations where they should purchase new land to protect the jaguar, and secure its future.

Our beautiful Belize making great efforts to keep this species ❤protected 🎉
I love seeing stories about the positive impact people are making. Please keep this series going!
This a remarkable educational video sharing about the severely endangered jaguars. Wonderful to see & know that you guys are doing everything you can to protect/save these beautiful animals, purely majestic.
Please continue to keep us posted
Stay Strong - Wild Things deserve Our Support 🙏🏼
I love jaguares! Jaguares are important in my Mexican heritage. Long live the Mexicah! ☝🏼🤲🏼🇲🇽
Love this series!
The cameras are a good way to get info. Non invasive approach.
I feel the collars are horrible to put on any wild animal.
Both are effective in different situations
It should be illegal to kill such a magnificent and near-threatened animal.
It is, sadly it's difficult to enforce the law in the wild.
Wild ? Everywhere. We are living in a criminal world run by psychopaths@@Davidzinuhaha
This is where I am hopeful about innovating defense tactics after learning the story of Texas Longhorn cattle; since they developed their traits as defense tactics from being feral for a few centuries across Mexican and Texas history.
I love the beautiful Jaguars. I'm grateful for the folks who work to save them and their habitats. ❤😊 And the farmers who work to learn to coexist with them. We must all learn to coexist with and preserve wild spaces for our animal friends. ❤ Predators especially get a bad rap and they are just as important as any other animals are.
My all time favorite cat.
Beautiful~👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Essa é uma onça aqui no Brasil existem bastante na Amazônia também no pantanal do estado de Mato Grosso 🆗️🇧🇷🐾🐆🐆🐆
Continental corridors and riparian corridors will save us
Nice
Gotta get better technology and have smaller collars. It looks so wrong with that big bulky collar. Regardless great work, they are a special cat amd deserve to be free and safe from people
Man finding out we had these awesome creatures in the states at one time is super saddening
Yes the last sightings have been a few years now. There was a jaguar El Jefe which means The Boss, seen in Southern Arizona and before that, Macho B on camera traps. But Macho B is passed now and El Jefe was last seen in Mexico I believe. I think it would be cool to have them again. 😊
Calling all animal lovers! Listen here and listen well. Cody Roberts of Wyoming has yet to be punished for his horrific crime of animal abuse towards a young wolf. If any of you care, please fight that real justice be met! No animal abuser should go off with just a slap on the wrist. We must come together to ensure no animal abuser get away with such an awful act!

💛🎉
Thanks for the video. By far my favorite series on this channel. Keep up the great work:)
Magnificent
Way to go Belize!!
please upload the series in CZcams as we are not able to watch PBS in India..
imagine waking up then you already have a collar etc😂
Thank you
Great work❣️
Jaguars control populations of smaller predators or mesopredators, such as smaller carnivores, which can otherwise become overabundant and disrupt the ecosystem.

There are all kind of cats now, hybrids, different kinds, from all over the world in the same place, cats are everywhere and people don't notice them, unless you know what to look for you wont ever see em in your entire life, I was skepticle there was none in CA I was such a depressed ass, but they are there, dedicate time to planting trees, making the environment nice and cats will thank you, they have a human brain, they are the most clean, they do get sick, they can get skitzoid, so clean up the forest ground, cats, cats, cats, everything is about cats.

Lair I'm from Arizona we have them here so ha u lair
Yes there have been sightings of wandering males, El Jefe was seen in AZ but not for years now and Macho B has passed. We don't have breeding populations of jaguars in the US anymore.
Eco tourism is the ONLY way forward.
Fact check ✔️ in the last ten years, Three jaguars have been captured by trail cameras in South East Arizona Sonoran desert 🌍🌵🌍🧬🌍
Yes, El Jefe hasn't been seen in awhile now and was last seen on a camera trap in Mexico. Macho B has passed on .
