A biodiversity hotspot losing its top predator: The challenge of jaguar conservation in the Atlantic Forest of South America

TL;DR: The jaguar is the top predator of the Atlantic Forest, which is a highly threatened biodiversity hotspot that occurs in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, and by combining data sets from 14 research groups across the region, the population status is determined and a spatial prioritization for conservation actions is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Habitat loss and overhunting synergistically drive the extirpation of jaguars from the Gran Chaco

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how habitat loss and overhunting impact large carnivores in the Gran Chaco ecoregion in Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia and found that Jaguar core areas contracted by 33% (82,400 km²) from 1985 to 2013, mainly due to an expansion of hunting threats.
