“Three rare wild cat species were recently photographed on Mexican ranches by Pronatura Noreste, a Mexican conservation group and CCI partner. Motion sensor cameras employed on nine ranches between December 2007 and March 2008 revealed the presence of ocelots (Leopardus pardalis albescens), jaguars (Panthera onca) and jagaurundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi cacomitli)–findings that underscore the importance of private ranches in protecting these endangered cats. The good news may also offer new options for boosting the tiny U.S. ocelot population.”*
