This month Center staff traveled with renowned scientist Sebastián Di Martin of ReWilding Argentina to explore historical and occupied jaguar habitat in Arizona and New Mexico.
Sebastián and his team have successfully reintroduced jaguars into formerly occupied habitat at the species’ southern range in Argentina’s Iberá. The last jaguar in the area was killed in 1953. But thanks to ReWilding Argentina, now 25 jaguars thrive there.
“Sebastián’s groundbreaking work to bring jaguars back to their southern range is an inspiration for efforts here in their northern range in the U.S. Southwest,” said the Center’s Russ McSpadden.

About the Center:
The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature - to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.
We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.
