Western Mexico’s rapidly expanding shrimp farms, many of which are illegal, are contributing to the deforestation of the Pacific coast’s mangroves, an important habitat for jaguars.

From our archives: The water that a single tree transpires daily has the cooling effect of two home air conditioners.

Deforestation is dramatically disrupting this arboreal air conditioning.
