Ya’axche and Eco Warriors join hands to highlight the Jaguar

Jaguars are one of the largest wild cats found in the Americas. It functions as an umbrella species for biodiversity conservation and symbolizes sustainable development. In Belize, Jaguars are protected and some organizations such as the Belize Audubon Society, Forestry Department, and Ya’axche Conservation Trust protect and educate about the importance of jaguars. Yesterday, the Belize Audubon Society commemorated International Jaguars Day. The focus of the commemoration and community outreach activities emphasizes the Jaguar Conservation Initiative. Here are the highlights of the activities done by the Belize Audubon Society.
