About Us
About our Project
We are a group of independent researchers who focus on understanding the nature of the six wild species of felid found in Costa Rica and their relationship with their prey species.
Established in 2012 our project seeks to increase the current knowledge of jaguars, other wild cats and their prey species in order to promote conservations and management actions that will enhance their long-term survival. We have a specific interest in monitoring the predator-prey interaction between jaguars and sea turtles.
