Jaguar conservation threats and

Jaguar threats 

As important is the threat of habitat loss P. onca. High deforestation rates in Latin America, and fragmentation of habitat and jaguar populations make this species vulnerable to man (Nowell 

and Jackson 1996). 

This cat inhabits the tropical forests of South and Central America, the same habitats as climate scientists that have been converted into savanna or desert if they continue cutting down forests at this step, and that at this point the water is not may be replaced.

Especially because of the construction of the Trans, a road that cuts across much of the Brazilian rainforest, large areas of tropical forest is being destroyed by settlers. These settlers used this area for 2 or 3 years as pasture for their livestock or as nearly barren fields until the harvest is so small they cut other areas. But the forest has been destroyed so irreplaceable and the thin layer of topsoil has been washed away by rain.The first step in creating even a desert has been made. The jaguar is not the only to suffer its consequences. 

In addition, people compete with jaguars for prey, and jaguars are frequently shot, despite protective legislation (Nowell and Jackson 1996). 

By losing habitat and prey, often are forced to attack the cattle, and this causes them to be persecuted by farmers. In many areas won almost moves by large unprotected areas and in areas with a shortage of natural prey have evolved into an important part of the jaguar's diet, especially in seasonally flooded savannah. 

The vulnerability of the jaguar to persecution is demonstrated by its disappearance in the mid-twentieth century Mexico and the United ofthis areas where now the only inhabitant is the puma. Currently, commercial hunting and trapping for their pelts has declined drastically from 70 thanks to the campaigns for and against the rules of CITES (Nowell and Jackson 1996).
