Abstract
Describes efforts to protect tigers Panther tigris, jaguars Panthera onca and large-scale forest habitat in Asia, Central America, and Africa. These initiatives take a comprehensive approach that includes biological field research, identification of local human interests, and a growing recognition of the need for cooperation across political lines. This international experience could be used better to inform and improve carnivore conservation efforts in North America.
