Jaguar Conservation Programme

Chester Zoo's Jaguar & People Programme, is currently developing a global survey of jaguar conflicts.

To complement this, the zoo has developed a website, the Jaguar Conservation Network, designed to enhance efforts to reduce conflict across the Jaguars' range.

The website contains a wealth of information about jaguars and their conservation and has been designed as an independent resource for researchers, conservationists and those people affected by conflict.  

Chester Zoo also provides grants to various jaguar projects including the Cockscomb Basin Jaguar Project in Belize which monitors the area’s jaguar population, examines human-jaguar conflict and develops conflict mitigation procedures, and the human-jaguar co-existence project in the ranches and villages of La Selva Maya, Guatemala.
