Call to Action: “Save the American Jaguar”

by Elizabeth Barrette on November 6, 2009

Yes, jaguars are native to America.  We’re out of them right now — the government killed our last known jaguar in May, 2009.  Please take action to support a federal recovery plan for American jaguars.

American Jaguars Need Your Help to Survive

In May, the last known U.S. jaguar — Macho B — was unnecessarily, tragically killed by government agencies. This heartbreaking loss to the species, and to us, demands swift action to preserve habitat for the majestic cats.

If jaguars are to rebound, as wolves and grizzlies have, they need a federal recovery plan, reintroduction from Mexico to the United States, and protection of their essential living space.
