| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE MISSION OF THE NORTHERN JAGUAR PROJECT IS TO PRESERVE AND RECOVER THE WORLD'S NORTHERMOST POPULATION OF THE JAGUAR, ITS UNIQUE NATURAL HABITAT, AND NATIVE WILDLIFE UNDER ITS PROTECTION AS A FLAGSHIP, KEYSTONE, AND UMBRELLA SPECIES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | NORTHERN JAGUAR PROJECT - STATEMENT OF PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS OCTOBER 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 2024. RENOWNED FOR THEIR POWER, STRENGTH, BEAUTY, AND GRACE, JAGUARS ARE VANISHING THROUGHT THE AMERICAS. NOWHERE IS THIS MORE APPARENT THAN THE US-MEXICO BORDERLANDS, WHERE THE NORTHERN JAGUAR PROJECT CONDUCTS RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES INTENDED TO SAFEGUARD THESE CATS FROM ILLEGAL POACHING, RETALIATORY KILLINGS, HABITAT LOSS, AND OTHER PERSISTENT THREATS. THE CENTERPIECE OF OUR WORK IS THE 56,600-ACRE NORTHERN JAGUAR RESERVE -A REMOTE, RUGGED, AND EXCEEDINGLY WILD LANDSCAPE WHERE FEMALE JAGUARS CAN RAISE THEIR YOUNG FREE FROM HARM. NJP FURTHER WORKS WITH RESEARCHERS, RANCHERS, YOUTH, AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO ENGENDER SUPPORT FOR CONSERVING JAGUARS, THEIR HABITAT, AND OTHER SPECIES. WILDLIFE MONITORING AND RESEARCH: SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IS A CENTERPIECE OF OUR PROGRAMS ON AND NEAR THE NORTHERN JAGUAR RESERVE, WHERE OUR TEAM OF BIOLOGISTS AND TECHNICIANS MAINTAINED AN ARRAY OF OVER 150 MOTION-TRIGGERED CAMERAS. OVER THE YEARS, OUR RESEARCH AND MONITORING EFFORTS HAVE LED TO MORE THAN 80 DISTINCT JAGUARS DOCUMENTS ON THE RESERVE AND NEIGHBORING VIVIENDO CON FELINOS RANCHES, WITH 2,500 JAGUAR IMAGES TO DATE. IN THE 2023 FISCAL YEAR, 15 KNOWN JAGUARS MOVED ACROSS THE ENTIRE PROTECTED AREA RESULTING IN MORE THAN 200 RECORDS. WE REGULARLY VISITED THE VIVIENDO CON FELINOS RANCHES TO MAINTAIN CAMERAS, RETRIEVE PHOTOGRAPHS, AND MAKE SURE AGREEMENTS TO NOT HARM WILDLIFE WERE HONORED. A TOTAL OF FIVE JAGUARS WERE RECORDED ACROSS VIVIENDO CON FELINOS RANCHES. COMMUNITY OUTREACH: OUR VIVIENDO CON FELINOS PROJECT EXTENDED PROTECTION FOR JAGUARS AND OTHER FELINES ON 19 RANCHES, ENCOMPASSING MORE THAN 125,000 TOTAL ACRES. WE PROVIDED AWARDS FOR FELINE PHOTOGRAPHS TO PROMOTE THE PRESENCE OF LIVING WILDLIFE AND WORKED WITH RANCHERS TO MINIMIZE HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICTS. WE HELD OUR ANNUAL COMMUNITY-WIDE CELEBRATION AND PHOTO EXHIBIT TO HONOR THE VIVIENDO CON FELINOS RANCHERS IN OCTOBER 2023. WE ALSO RESUMED OUR PLANNED MEETINGS AND RESTORATION WORKSHOPS WITH THE RANCHERS TO WORK ON CONSERVATION- ORIENDED SOLUTIONS TO HELP MAINTAIN THEIR LIVELIHOODS. OUR ECO-GUARDIAN CLUB CONTINUED TO ENGAGE KIDS WITH AT-HOME ACTIVITIES THROUGH THE PUBLICATION OF A MONTHLY BOOKLET, BUT WE ALSO RESUMED IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES WITH THE CLUB AND IN LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. NORTHERN JAGUAR RESERVE: OUR FIELD TEAM INSURED THE EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF THE RESERVE WITH INFRASTRUCTURE WORK THAT INCLUDED CAMP MAINTENANCE, UPGRADES TO SOLAR POWER AND WATER SYSTEMS, WEATHER STATION REPAIRS, AND ROAD MAINTENANCE TO MINIMIZE EROSION. FENCES WERE REPAIRED, AND NEW FENCING WAS INSTALLED TO KEEP TRESPASSING COWS OUT. WE FOCUSED BUFFELGRASS REMOVAL EFFORTS ALONG THE ROAD AND IN SELECTED PRIORITY AREAS. STEWARDSHIP AND LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT FUND: WE CONTINUED TO GROW OUR STEWARDSHIP AND LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT FUND TO GUARANTEE THE RESERVE'S FUTURE THROUGH SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT AND RESTORATION. WITH MORE THAN 88% OF OUR INITIAL 1 MILLION GOAL IN HAND, THIS FUND WILL CREATE A PERMANENT SOURCE OF ANNUAL FUNDING TO COVER THE COSTS OF BASIC PROTECTION AND ENSURE PROPER GUARDIANSHIP OF THE RESERVE IN PERPETUITY. BUILDING OUR STEWARDSHIP FUND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PRIORITY FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THE YEARS AHEAD. GRASSROOTS LEADERSHIP: OPERATING WITH A BINATIONAL APPROACH HAS BEEN A CORE PRINCIPLE OF THE NORTHERN JAGUAR PROJECT SINCE OUR INCEPTION AND A THEME THAT RUNS DEEPLY THROUGHOUT OUR ORGANIZATION. WE HAVE AND CONTINUE TO SPEND TIME LISTENING AND LEARNING TO MANAGE CROSS-BORDER RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE UPLIFTING AND GUIDED BY LOCAL RESIDENTES AND COMMUNITY-BASED PARTNERSHIPS. WE HAVE MADE A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO THIS COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE'S HEARTS ARE CHANGING, AND JAGUARS AND OTHER WILD CATS ARE FINDING SAFE SPACES, ROOM TO ROAM, AND TIME TO REBOUND. |
