The Importance of Jaguars in the Amazon
Jaguars, the largest big cats in the Americas, play a critical role in maintaining the health and balance of their ecosystem. These powerful predators help control the populations of other species, ensuring that the intricate web of life in the rainforest remains intact. Despite their importance, jaguars are under threat from habitat destruction, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.
