The most valued and trafficked parts of jaguars are their fangs. These are considered valid substitutes to tiger canines. Chinese medicine ascribes medical properties to tiger bones and teeth. Jaguars are listed in Appendix I of CITES, as they are endangered species; the increased poaching is becoming a severe threat to their survival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operation Jaguar <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>The project Operation Jaguar wants to put an end to poaching and illegal trade in jaguars. Liliana Jauregui, senior expert environmental justice at IUCN NL, explains: &#8216;By exposing criminal networks, and improving investigation and prosecution by authorities, we want to combat poaching and illegal trade in jaguars. We also work on prevention by keeping poachers out of jaguar habitats to allow this top predator to continue playing its important role in the ecosystem.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Earth League International\u2019s Executive Director, Andrea Crosta, adds: &#8216;Given the sensitive nature of our work, the format of a graphic story works well. It shows the public exactly what we are doing, and how, without jeopardizing field operations and the safety of ELI team members.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Operation Jaguar<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>The jaguar on of the five big cats.
