Abstract
The results of three years of research on jaguars Panthera onca in the Pantanal region of Brazil are used to develop a comprehensive conservation plan for the species in the region. The plan attempts to integrate space and ecological requirements of the species with existing land features and socioeconomic realities of the region. A reserve of at least 2000-3000 km2 is recommended for each of two areas which still support relatively undisturbed populations of jaguars. Second, the plan calls for the protection of riverine forests between the two reserves as corridors for inter-refuge movement. Lastly, several recommendations are made to address jaguar-cattle conflicts. © 1992.
