Recent years have seen a spike in the trafficking of jaguar parts in South America, often destined for East Asia, increasing conservation concern for the already embattled jaguar. IUCN NL, IFAW, ELI, SAVIA and other partners have joined forces for ‘Operation Jaguar’ – a project funded by the Dutch Postcode Lottery that focuses on tackling wildlife crime, in particular the trafficking in jaguar products, in Suriname, Guyana, Peru and Bolivia. To ensure sustainable impact, it is of course of great importance to also address the wider issues of prioritization of the protection of jaguars and their habitats, as well as the need for community engagement, governance and (law) enforcement to implement strict measures to control trafficking of this species. Through the adoption of Motion 106 international attention will be raised to the predicament of the jaguar that will hopefully result in a sense of urgency to come into action for its protection.
