The conservation of the largest wetland on the planet, located in Brazil, is now supported by ISA and its affiliate ISA CTEEP through Conexión Jaguar.
Conexión Jaguar arrives to Brazil, precisely the place with the highest presence of jaguars per area in the Americas. This is the second largest project in extension and the fifth conservation project (preceded by two projects in Colombia and two in Peru) supported by Conexión Jaguar in Latin America.

Planeta Caracol highlights the positive results of the Conexión Jaguar Program, which with camera traps the Program managed to record a jaguar in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; all this is part of the important work they have done.
For the first time, Medellin celebrates Jaguar Month with biodiversity experts to raise awareness about the conservation of this species
Panthera and Conexión Jaguar, the sustainability program of Grupo ISA, in alliance with Parque Explora, will develop on November 7 academic and cultural activities with free admission in order to disseminate, educate and promote jaguar conservation in Latin America.
Forests, Latin America’s great wealth: how to protect them?
Latin America is a region of forests. In Colombia, for example, about 5.700 tree species are registered out of the approximately 60.000 that exist in the world, and in Brazil it is possible to find about 8.700 registered trees.
ISA’s Conexión Jaguar initiates support for conservation project in the Peruvian Amazon
It is one of the largest projects supported by the Program outside of Colombia. In the area where this initiative is being developed, there is a high diversity of endemic and endangered species of fauna and flora, one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the world.
Jaguar captured by hidden cameras in rural area of Valledupar
After the installation of 24 camera traps in an area of 70.000 hectares in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a jaguar was observed for the first time in Arhuaco territory in a rural area of Valledupar.
Through the cameras it was possible to observe the biological and spiritual corridor of the jaguar, considered the largest feline in the Americas and classified as a near-threatened species on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
The recording in camera traps is part of an initiative led by ISA and ISA Intercolombia through the sustainability program Conexión Jaguar and developed by the Fundación Herencia Ambiental Caribe, which seeks the formulation together with the Arhuaco people of a conservation project in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

These projects aim to implement actions for the preservation and sustainable management of forests to protect biodiversity, contribute to climate change mitigation and generate benefits for rural communities in the cultural and sacred territory.
The cameras also captured the presence of the blue-billed curassow (Crax alberti), a critically endangered species, and the Margay leopardus wiedii, considered a near-threatened species.
Jaguar in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
With camera traps installed in Arhuaco territory in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the Conexión Jaguar program was able to record the presence of jaguars. This is good news for the planet, as this feline is on the red list of threatened species. Guillermo González, ISA’s Chief Institutional Relations Officer, explains the importance of this finding.
In Colombia 1.302 species are under some degree of threat.
The most recent data from the Ministry of Environment indicate that there are 814 species of flora in some category of threat and 488 species of fauna. Today, when National Wildlife Day is celebrated, the call is to protect and conserve biodiversity, an issue that companies have been working on.
The jaguar is seen for the first time in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
The sighting of the largest feline in the Americas in Arhuaco territory demonstrates the good condition of this ecosystem. In the camera traps installed in this biological corridor, blue-billed curassows and margays were also seen.
It is possible to coexist with jaguars and protect them at the same time.
Monitoring cameras captured images of two jaguars in a rural area of Simacota, Santander, where there is large-scale retaliatory hunt.
These findings are part of the Human-Feline Coexistence, a complementary line of action of ISA’s Conexión Jaguar Program, which seeks to sensibilize and educate communities to raise awareness about the loss of biodiversity.
Conexión Jaguar for ISA
Juan Fernando Patiño, leader of the Conexión Jaguar Program, visits Encuentros BLU to talk about the importance of this program and explains how jaguar protection can contribute to biodiversity conservation, community development and the reduction of the impact of climate change.
A group in Barrancabermeja seeks to raise awareness to preserve the jaguar
The protection of the jaguar has brought together different sectors: communities, academia and private enterprise met in Barrancabermeja around art and biodiversity to exalt the power of the largest feline in the Americas. This is how members of an artist collective follow in the footsteps of the jaguar.
Camera traps record several jaguars
In the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in Arhuaco territory, several jaguars were sighted, between three or four, as part of the Conexión Jaguar program, which has been carried out for a year by ISA and which covers part of the Antioquian territory with sustainability programs associated with the protection of this animal, considered the largest feline in the Americas.
Cameras in Arhuaco territory record first jaguar in the area
In the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the presence of a jaguar, the largest feline in the Americas, was recorded for the first time in Arhuaco territory, classified as a “near threatened species” on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The camera trap recording took place […]
Camera traps record jaguar in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, where one of the projects for ISA’s Conexión Jaguar Program is being formulated.
This is the first record of the species made through photo-trapping in Arhuaco territory. The presence of the jaguar is proof of the good condition of the ecosystem, as it guarantees the survival of smaller species.
It is possible to coexist with jaguars: ISA, its affiliate INTERCOLOMBIA and Panthera raise awareness in communities
Conexión Jaguar is carrying out awareness-raising activities in Simacota, Santander, a territory where communities live with these felines.
Humans around the world, through their activities, have displaced large predators from their territories, and they are now registered as endangered or even almost extinct species.
The actions with which ISA, through Conexión Jaguar, will join the alliance “Biodiversity and Development for the Caribbean”.
The Colombian Caribbean is considered one of the 25 terrestrial ecoregions with the greatest biological diversity on the planet, but the fragmentation of its ecosystems has generated a significant loss of connectivity between species of fauna and flora that diminishes and affects the provision of ecosystem services and the well-being of communities.
