Summary

A study of the Taiamã Ecological Station in Brazil's Pantanal reveals that its current size is insufficient to legally protect the region's jaguar population, despite housing a high density of these apex predators. Researchers recorded 27 distinct jaguars using georeferenced images captured along rivers bordering and within the station over multiple years. By integrating photographic records with existing literature, the study underscores the need for expanding this conservation unit to ensure effective protection of jaguar populations in one of the world's most biodiverse wetlands.
