• Conducted as part of the Jaguar Conservation
  Agreement
• With the model we attempted to identify potential
  jaguar habitat based on current conditions
• Model Parameters Used
• Proximity to Water
• Prey Availability
• Road Density
• Population Density
• Terrain Ruggedness
• Vegetation Community

3

• Study Area Delineation
• Based on Class I sightings with sufficiently
  detailed locality information to reliably plot a
  point
• Sightings buffered by 50 Miles
• All Game Management Units that fell within the 50
  mile buffer were used as the study area
