Summary

The main source of jaguar parts for illegal trade is retaliatory hunting due to livestock predation, mainly sheep, which affects in particular small farmers at isolated and extreme poverty communities. Implementing coexistence measures and promoting agroforestry practices in their family production units helps protect their livestock and assets, strengthen productive activities, diversify income, and improve living conditions. At the same time, these measures prevent illegal hunting, contribute to rainforest conservation, and benefit local communities and wildlife.
