@ArjDheer Yep. Have a project in development with them.

@DrLukeHunter @swfoto OMG Luke, I had no idea Howard was ill! I cannot tell you how sad this makes me. Howard of course was an early mentor, and always extremely generous with his time. He was a true champion of big cat conservation. RIP Howard, we will always remember you as the leader you were.

@ArjDheer Arjun, just curious...are you more interested in the 'carbon footprint' of different wildlife species, or more in their valuation in a carbon-based trading and financial framework? The latter is more where we are pioneering new ideas and soon looking for investors.

[S.P.E.C.I.E.S. @order_carnivora]

@ArjDheer Hey Arjun. This is exactly what we do at SPECIES. Our work leads to the development of new brands, new tech innovation, and novel socioeconomic frameworks. We are developing a companion start-up pursuing new for-profit business models that can fund new projects and enterprises.

@urbanfishingcat @GabiLeighton @urbancaracal Congratulations Anya! Well done to you! :-). You've been working so hard on that, we can't wait to read!

[S.P.E.C.I.E.S. @order_carnivora]

@ArjDheer Go get'm Arjun! Haha. Why so many people are scared of critical thinking skills is beyond me. But please, send me a link about DeFi if you have one? Is that a more sustainable cryptocurrency? I'd like to know more.

@AfricanParks Wow, fantastic! African golden cats are one of biggest conservation priorities in Africa. Let us know how we can help!

[Luke Hunter @DrLukeHunter]

Great photo! Chinko is one of the very few sites where all three cats of the Caracal lineage occur- Golden cat, Caracal and Serval. Fascinating.

[African Parks @AfricanParks]

Caught on camera - an African golden cat in Chinko, CAR. Endemic to the rainforests of West & Central Africa, this Vulnerable species is threatened by habitat loss & the illegal wildlife trade, making well managed protected areas, like Chinko, essential for its long-term survival

@ClaudioSillero Very sorry for your loss, Claudio. My heart and thoughts are with you.

Hay un dicho que dice "puede que no hayas visto al jaguar, pero él, definitivamente te vió a vos" y ¡es 100% cierto!

La idea de que estos depredadores no harían nada más que atacar a todas las personas que se acerquen, es una idea falsa (sigue)

[S.P.E.C.I.E.S. @order_carnivora]

@DrLukeHunter True! Same for so-called "black panthers" in the eastern US.

@DNNACGM11 hi Carlos! Happy to chat with you about our Chaco Jaguar Conservation Project. We have the largest transboundary scope and mission focused on jaguars across the Gran Chaco, from Bolivia through Paraguay into north Argentina. Pls email me at: [email protected]

[S.P.E.C.I.E.S. @order_carnivora]

@TomMQuigley @DNNACGM11 @conservationx We do work in Argentina! How can I help?

La biodiversidad nos aporta alimentos, agua dulce y suelos fértiles para sobrevivir, medicinas, fibras textiles y otras materias primas. Los ecosistemas sanos regulan el clima y absorben CO2, purifican el agua, controlan las inundaciones y frenan la erosión.

A veces una imagen dice más que mil palabras 😬😱 Increíble imagen 📸 de un jaguarete 🐆 depredando un jakare 🐊

Los jaguares son muy buenos nadadores. Cazan peces, tortugas, caimanes y usan sus fauces increíblemente poderosas para perforar los cráneos de los animales.

Las madres y jaguares son muy parecidas; harían lo que fuera por proteger a sus hijos ❤️

¡Feliz día a todas ellas! ✨

¡Imagen de nuestras cámaras trampa para alegrar tu viernes! ¿Reconocés a ésta ave? 🤔

Pista: puede llegar a medir hasta 1,22-1,40 m de altura 😳

Happy World Jaguar Day @FundazooCR! Let's celebrate the largest cat in the western hemisphere!
