MEXICO / Global Vision International
Volunteers will join local biologists researching Jaguar, Puma and other cats and their prey at the privately owned research of El Eden on the northern Yucatan Peninsula. At the research center you will assist with camera trapping, habitat mapping and prey species research, and assist in the conservation of these species and their ecosystems. Jaguars are the largest cat in the Americas, and the 3rd largest in the world, but deforestation, land partitioning, poaching and illegal trade has converted this species in one of the most threatened of the region. If volunteers are present at the right time, they may be able to observe the team trap and mark Jaguar and Puma. This is an amazing and unique opportunity to help out on a critically important conservation program in Mexico.
