Advances and barriers to the development of jaguar-tourism in the Brazilian Pantanal

Jaguar-tourism in the Pantanal Conservation Area holds significant potential for both economic growth and jaguar conservation, yet its development is hindered by a lack of management plans for protected areas. The study highlights that despite the region's rich biodiversity and recognition as a key ecotourism destination, wildlife tourism remains underexploited in Brazil. It argues that structured management frameworks are essential to unlock this potential, ensuring sustainable economic benefits while supporting jaguar conservation efforts.
