The combination of our target corridors and habitats, total to a cost of 5 million dollars which is directly in line with our budget. All of our financial resources will be used to their fullest potential as the impact of the protected habitats and corridors will allow for the continued gene flow and safe passage from one jaguar population to another. There will be $2,650,000 allotted to the conservation of certain corridors while the remaining $2,350,000 will be used to protect valuable populations throughout South and Central America.Affected by habitat loss, fragmentation, human wildlife conflicts and illegal wildlife trade, jaguars are a species that face the risk of extinction as a direct result of human actions. Although countless populations continue to decline through poaching, ecosystem degeneration, and human intolerance, there is hope. Through our efforts in preserving jaguar habitat patches and corridors, jaguars are able to disperse, bringing new genetic material to new areas to increase genetic variability which helps to preserve populations. Choosing to conserve habitat patches of decreasing species allows them the ability and space to grow, while conserving areas of stable populations provides healthy populations. Preserving the corridors which connect these two permits jaguar populations to expand their gene pool which in turn promotes the best traits to be selected which will allow the species to better adapt and survive.
