The Hidden Lives of Jaguars

Conservationists worldwide use camera traps to study the movements of elusive animals. This technology allows researchers to track the patterns and habits of wild populations across vast distances—and once the data is in-hand, it can inform the best strategies to preserve land and protect endangered species.

In Belize, biologists have deployed one of the longest-running grids of cameras on the planet to track the hidden lives of jaguars and to focus protections in the dwindling rainforest.
