مستخلص: The article offers information on the status of jaguar Panthera onca in Pantanal as a well preserved biome compared to other biomes in Brazil. Original vegetation cover in the Pantanal plain, it says, is at 85% while 50% of original vegetation in the Upper Paraguay watershed has been altered. Extent of occupancy (EOO) of jaguars in Pantanal is estimated at 63% and density is 7.0 jaguars for every square kilometer (sq km) area. It mentions threats to jaguars in Pantanal including fragmentation of habitat due to intensified land use, illegal hunting activities and retaliation of ranchers due to jaguars preying on cattle. It also notes regional policies for solving problems including environmental actions, tax benefits and increasing regional prices of beef.
