National Jaguar Strategy

| Lacandon
Forest
This
is the most diverse forest in Mexico,
and Bioconciencia personnel have promoted
studies and its conservation for over
20 years. Currently we are performing
studies on water management, biological
indicators of disturbance, along with
large mammal monitoring assessments
with camera-traps.

Megafauna
We have promoted and worked continuously
on the conservation and reintroduction
of the prog-horned sheep (Antilocapra
americana) in Northern Mexico,
which wild populations are still very
reduced. We have worked with the first
sustainable development project for
the conservation of the Big-horn sheep
in the Gulf of California, working
with the Seri indigenous community.
Other efforts with large mammals in
the country include the Lynx (Lynx
rufus) abundance, distribution
and phylogeography.

We are working with the federal government
wildlife division, asessing the process
of de-centralizing the actions generated
for the protection of the environment and
endangered species. With this we have created
the National Council of Wildlife. Also,
we are performing some periodic revision
of the species with some category of risk
