Human activities threaten Jaguar Movement and survival in fragmented habitats

A recent study reveals that jaguars (Panthera onca) in South America are increasingly impacted by habitat loss and fragmentation caused by human activities. Researchers tracked 54 GPS-tagged jaguars, observing their interactions with various landscape elements, including forests, agriculture, roads, and drainages. Jaguars showed a clear preference for natural areas, frequently revisiting forest edges and large patches while avoiding extensive agricultural zones. Their speed increased near roads, highlighting the dangers of road collisions, while natural drainages slowed their pace, suggesting these areas provide safer routes. This research emphasizes the urgent need for conservation strategies that address habitat connectivity and reduce human encroachment, as jaguars face higher risks in fragmented landscapes.
