Sixteen individual jaguars were identified in the third year of corridor monitoring, up from eleven in year two. Identification is based on flank rosette patterns, which are stable between seasons.
Three of the individuals are cubs, photographed twice at the same creek crossing. It is the first confirmed breeding record from the central sector.
Cattle ranching on the eastern edge of the corridor remains the largest single risk. Two of the sixteen animals were recorded within 500 m of pasture.
