SAVING JAGUAR HABITAT IMPACTS YOU TOO.The human footprint has taken its toll. In the past 50 years, we caused more damage to our planet than by all previous 200.000 years of mankind. More speci� cally, deforestation is wiping out natural habitat in an alarming way. For example, deforestation has decreased the jaguar habitat by 65%. Only 3% of the original jaguar population has survived. The fate of the iconic endangered Black Jaguar is symbol of the endangerment of all species and of the drastic deforestation of the Amazon rainforest and Cerrado savanna in Brazil.

Saving the ‘jaguar habitat’ is symbolic to preserving the world’s most vital ecosystems. Their home has a major impact on our daily lives too. The jaguar habitat is directly responsible for :

20% of all oxygen on earth30% of all fresh water on earth25% of all modern medicines

The Black Jaguar Foundation (BJF) and its partners strive to realize the Araguaia Nature Corridor : the longest biodiversity-corridor on earth - 2.600 km long and up to 40 km wide - in the heart of Brazil. Thousands of species will bene� t, most of all ourselves. Tens of millions of indigenous trees will be reforested. Take this opportunity to help us realize this bold conservation project to preserve our planet.

The Black Jaguar FoundationThe BJF consists of a dedicated team of successful professionals and ambassadors, volunteering to protect the natural habitat of the jaguar. By preserving the jaguar’s habitat, we also preserve our own future and the future of generations to come.

Our main goal To realize the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor in Central Brazil : the longest nature corridor on earth and potentially South America’s biggest reforestation project.

The BJF is a devoted member within the international Alliance of Araguaia Corridor Partners, headed by the Jaguar Conservation Fund in Brazil. BJF-projects to help realizing the Araguaia Corridor:

1. Raise awareness for the biodiversity-corridor How? By producing impactful awe-inspiring documentaries about this corridor-project, with � rst time ever footage of the mythical black jaguar in the wild.

2. Fieldwork to realize the biodiversity-corridorHow? By mapping the entire 10,4 million hectare Corridor Zone and identifying the land-owners who will be the key to the corridor’s success.

3. Reforestation Fund to realize the corridorHow? By advising landowners who join the Corridor Program, which indigenous trees to replant. Secondly to � nance the process of replanting the new born trees.

With your support, our corridor- project will give birth to the reforestation of tens of millions of indigenous trees, converting agricultural land back to original habitat of the jaguar.

Why the black jaguar? We choose the black jaguar as the icon of our foundation as its fate symbolizes the endangerment of all species and the drastic deforestation of the Amazon rainforest and the Cerrado savanna in Brazil.

Why documentaries about the corridor project? Educate and involve the people within the Corridor Zone.Generate awareness and media attention on a local & global scale.
