Panama will extend its national jaguar census Panama<\/strong> monitoring program<\/a> into the country’s western region starting in 2027, targeting areas within La Amistad International Park<\/a> and Volc\u00e1n Bar\u00fa National Park<\/a>. The expansion represents the second phase of the National Jaguar and Terrestrial Mammal<\/a> Census, designed to map distribution patterns and identify biological corridors used by these predators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ricardo Moreno, president of the Yaguar\u00e1 Panam\u00e1 Foundation<\/a>, confirmed the new phase will reach sectors of Chiriqu\u00ed province<\/a> that were excluded from the initial study. The project is being coordinated through the GEF-7 Jaguares Panam\u00e1 initiative, with field operations scheduled to begin in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
