Members of Panthera worry this will have a major effect on gene flow of the tiger population. Similarly, they worry that the Jaguars could be affected. ]]> 2017-12-14 20:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216317399 kendallgilstrap https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216326864 Panthera plans to "connect and protect" all Jaguar populations under the pressure of human-dominated landscapes from Argentina to Mexico. The goal is to preserve genetic diversity among the species by connecting the regions. The ideal path would be directly through Colombia because it would reconnect Panamanian and South American species. ]]> 2017-12-14 20:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216326864 kendallgilstrap https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216329069 2017-12-14 20:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216329069 kendallgilstrap https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216330610 2017-12-14 20:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216330610 kendallgilstrap https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216331963 "Human development in the shape of large monocultures, like oil palm plantations, are drastically changing the face of the planet, creating refugees out of wild cats by breaking up their habitats and forcing them to live within smaller, often degraded, and more isolated pockets of land."]]> 2017-12-14 20:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216331963 kendallgilstrap https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216333640 Pantheras pictures will play a large role in national and local policy making for oil palm farmers by raising awareness. They seek to implement sustainable farming practices in regions where most of the worlds threatened cats reside. ]]> 2017-12-14 20:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216333640 kendallgilstrap https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216335374 Quigley believes the data collected through the camera traps suggests Jaguars may be able to utilize the plantations and adjacent landscaping. With the help of multimedia awareness and conservation initiatives, genetic diversity of large cats may be restored. ]]> 2017-12-14 21:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216335374 kendallgilstrap https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216338334 2017-12-14 21:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216338334 kendallgilstrap https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216338373 2017-12-14 21:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kendallgilstrap/dwi7zma3e3oj/wish/216338373
