Hidden cameras detect jaguars in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

The indigenous people are part of the research and program to care for the jaguars, the most magnificent feline in the Colombian jungles.

They are jaguars in their natural habitat, large felines recorded in forested areas of this great lung of the country.

Last year, Interconexión Eléctrica ISA, Intercolombia and Fundación Hábitat Natural, as part of the Conexión Jaguar program, installed 24 camera traps.

Hidden cameras in an area of more than 70.000 hectares recorded several endangered species.

The presence of these felines and footprints in various sectors of the Sierra Nevada, show a dynamic ecosystem.

But at the same time, it is a wake-up call, it is a message sent from the Wild and Deep Colombia, that there is an ecosystem that survives, at least for now, to the onslaught of man.
