EYE OF THE JAGUAR
Become part of the monitoring and protection of American jaguars in Costa Rica.
EYE OF THE JAGUAR MONITORING PROGRAM
Since February 2021, we have launched the Eye of the Jaguar monitoring program in Costa Rica, thus entering the American continent with the Eye of the Earth project. Monitoring takes place in cooperation with Costa Rica rangers in Corcovado National Park and ASG Guanacaste. The main goal of the monitoring is to obtain data from the life of American jaguars, their research in cooperation with the NAMÁ CONSERVATION NGOs and their field protection.
NAMÁ NGOs and Costa Rica National Parks received support from us in the form of 50 UV595HD trail cameras, 10 Predator Micro trail cameras, 40 metal protective boxes, rope and padlocks, AA batteries and 60 SD cards. This mission also includes the exchange of monitoring experience, detection of poaching and conflict resolution with large feline beasts compared to Sumatran tigers. Trail cameras were located in Corcovado national park, Santa Rosa NP and Guanacaste NP. From February to the end of March, monitoring also took place in the treetops with the help of tree climber Janda Janoušek.
