It is also part of the support of Costa Rica rangers GPS navigation, laptop and camera. The main coordinator of the whole mission and the start of cooperation is Leonel Alonso Delgado Pereira. Monitoring the Eye of the Jaguar is under the auspices of the Costa Rica Minister of the Environment and in cooperation with universities. The aim of the cooperation is the protection of jaguars and their monitoring for research purposes of their behavior and, above all, their occurrence. Our camera trails will also protect them from poaching that will be unmasked by them
