Conservation organizations in Bolivia have set up a platform to join forces in the fight against the illegal trade and poaching of jaguars. Ten organizations have already joined the initiative.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n

Initiators of the platform, which is called the \u2018National Alliance for the Conservation and Protection of the Jaguar\u2019, are IUCN NL’s Bolivian partner SAVIA, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Panthera. Via the platform, the organizations share knowledge and experiences and organize joint activities to protect the jaguar. This ties in seamlessly with the goal of IUCN NL’s project Operation Jaguar to share knowledge and join forces in the fight against jaguar poaching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Marc Hoogeslag, project leader of Operation Jaguar says: \u2018We also informed our partner SAVIA about these ambitions at the start of our project. SAVIA took this to heart and, together with WCS and Panthera, brought the various parties together. This is very important for the efficient use of resources and to strengthen each other’s initiatives. \u2018<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
