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.
Conexión Jaguar Program: a commitment to wildlife conservation in Latin America
On July 30, Colombia celebrates National Wildlife Day, a date that commemorates the right to freedom and the care of all animals, especially those that are endangered or in captivity.
Conexión Jaguar Program goes international with its first project in Peru
The area where the project is being developed is home to endemic species of this country, such as the yellow-tailed woolly monkey and the yellow-browed toucanet, animals in critical danger of extinction. This area is known as the Peruvian yungas, one of the most important ecoregions in the world for its exceptional levels of biodiversity, expressed in a high richness of species and animal records not found anywhere else in the world.
Two endangered species, key to the ecosystem, are recorded in the Conexión Jaguar Program
Thanks to the commitment of the community and the ISA Group’s Conexión Jaguar Program, Colombia envisages a positive future for sustainable development. This was demonstrated by the evaluation of the second stage of the sampling of camera traps installed by researchers from Panthera, a technical ally of the Program, in Cimitarra, Santander; and in the visit to install camera traps in Tierralta, Córdoba, where great findings for the ecosystem balance were evidenced.
Camera traps of the Conexión Jaguar Program recorded 4 species of big felines in Cordoba and Santander
The sighting represents a very important event for the conservation of fauna and biodiversity because in Colombia there are only 6 species of felines. The sighting represents a very important event for the conservation of fauna and biodiversity because in Colombia there are only 6 species of felines. Several species of fauna that are part of the jaguar ecosystem are the findings so far of Conexión Jaguar Program in Colombia since its implementation in 2017.
First results of the Conexión Jaguar Program
As part of the Conexión Jaguar Program, a field visit was made for the preliminary review of the camera traps in the project for the restoration of lands degraded by extensive cattle ranching in jaguar corridors in the municipality of Cimitarra (Santander).
Environmental Finance Awards 2020 recognizes Conexión Jaguar as the Best Corporate Emission-Offsetting Program
The award highlights the best stakeholders in the voluntary carbon market in 17 categories.
ISA, with its flagship sustainability program Conexión Jaguar, is the only Colombian company in the ranking.
Conexión Jaguar and the indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta undertake climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation projects
A REDD+ project will be carried out to reduce carbon emissions in Arhuaco territory in order to conserve forests and their biodiversity in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
Panthera and ISA’s Conexión Jaguar recorded 42 species in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon
Four “vulnerable” and “near-threatened” species were among the 42 species recorded by the 50 camera traps installed in the Peruvian Amazon between September and November 2019 by the NGO Panthera and Conexión Jaguar, ISA’s sustainability program, who support the Ucayali REDD+ Biored project, a pioneering alliance for climate change mitigation and conservation in the heart of the Amazon.
Conexión Jaguar, among the 500 best projects of the Latinoamerica Verde 2020 Awards
Two REDD+ projects will be carried out to reduce carbon emissions in Arhuaco territory in order to conserve forests and their biodiversity in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
Conexión Jaguar records seven endangered species and 42 other species in the largest wetland on the planet: they too stay at home
Eight jaguars and six giant otters, among other “threatened” species, are part of the mammal, reptile and bird species that were recorded by Conexión Jaguar, the sustainability program of ISA and its affiliate ISA CTEEP in alliance with South Pole and Panthera.
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.
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.
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.
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.
