When a rural landowner participating in NJP and Naturalia’s joint Viviendo con Felinos project produces a photograph of a jaguar on his ranch, he’ll be paid a cash value equal to the long-standing bounty offered locally for dead jaguars. And since that same jaguar – kept alive – could be photographed numerous times, it makes sense that living wildlife is more valuable. While the jaguar is the grand prize of Viviendo con Felinos, the rancher will also receive stepped down awards for photographs of ocelots, mountain lions, and bobcats. This innovative program begins by awarding ranchers for the presence of living wildlife, especially large carnivores.

Great initiative! I just wonder what is the long term vision of this project. This type of payment sounds expensive and may not be sustainable on a long term.
Great idea but as usual the long term sustainability of the project is most of the time the problem. But he may have an impact on farmers’ perception toward the jaguar and increased tolerance, improving cohabitation even without rewards. Farmers could also start to be proud of the jaguar present in their lands, maybe!
