Monday's International Jaguar Day is an opportunity to stress the importance of conservation efforts underway to guarantee the jaguar's survival.⠀

In the last two decades, the jaguar population has declined by 20-25% due to habitat loss, environmental degradation, poaching and illegal trade. Today, 90% of the remaining jaguars live in the Amazon rain forest.⠀
⠀
Our colleagues at the #UnitedNations Development Programme (UNDP) are working with governments and local communities in #Honduras, #Mexico, #Peru and #Ecuador to conserve the jaguar's natural habitat and monitor the activities and well-being of these big cats. ⠀
⠀
Here are some actions you can take on #JaguarDay and every day, to keep these incredible felines #WildForLife:⠀
⠀
🔸 Get informed about the status of wildlife and wildlife products.⠀
🔸 Do not buy products from wildlife protected by law.⠀
🔸 Support companies that demonstrate sustainable supply chains and environmentally responsible policies.⠀
🔸 Spread the word and encourage others to get better informed.⠀
