Threats to Jaguars

jaguar1-v2

HABITAT LOSS

In the Amazon an area of rainforest the size of three football pitches is lost every minute. These forests are a key habitat for jaguars.

LOSS OF PREY

Over a quarter of the jaguar's range is thought to have depleted numbers of wild prey.

Human Silhouette

POACHING

Still poached for their paws, teeth and other parts, which are generally used in traditional Asian medicines.

ISOLATION

Deforestation not only reduces the amount of habitat available to jaguars, it also fragments and isolates populations making them more vulnerable to other threats.


How Your Adoption Gift Helps Jaguars

Your adoption and support will help us:

  • support local communities in developing sustainable livelihoods, like ecotourism, rubber tapping and Brazil nut collection
  • support local communities in monitoring jaguars and other iconic Amazon species
  • work with local communities to reduce the problem of people and jaguars coming into conflict
  • fund our other essential work around the world

Benefits of adopting as a gift

A WWF Jaguar adoption is the perfect hassle-free gift for friends or family with a passion for wildlife and making a difference.

Sustainable gift - make your impact go further

Gift packaging is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified and uses 100% recycled materials. No plastic is used in our gift packaging and it can be fully recycled.  

Our adoption toys are made to the Blue Angel standard. This independent ecolabel certification means these soft toys have a lower environmental impact and higher protection for human health, for example protecting workers rights, compared to other soft toys. If you would like to make your support go further, in checkout you can choose to not send the toy in your recipient. Although we have worked hard to reduce the footprint of our toys, they still have an impact on the environment, so choosing not to receive a toy is the most environmentally-friendly option and your loved one will still receive a welcome pack and regular updates.

Convenient and pressure-free gifts

Order online and your gift recipient will be sent a welcome pack directly to their door. If you need a last-minute gift, you'll receive a personalised Jaguar gift certificate to give to your loved one while waiting for the pack to arrive.

You can also browse other species to adopt as a gift.

Impact

Our Jaguar adoptions are more than a cuddly toy, they’re helping protect wildlife and their habitats. Your gift will support our work in the Amazon, to create and manage protected areas. We also work with local communities and decision makers to help preserve crucial habitats. We’re supporting local communities in monitoring jaguars and other iconic Amazon species. The data they collect helps us to understand the jaguar’s range and status. This information is essential to help us influence decision makers to improve conservation measures in critical areas.


Jaguar adoption gift FAQs

Jaguar adoptions help us work with local communities to monitor Jaguars, develop sustainable livelihoods and reduce conflict between people and Jagaurs. Find out more about how your adoption gift will help Jaguars.

Jaguar adoptions are symbolic for donating and supporting our conservation work with Jaguars. By adopting a Jaguar, you will be supporting a whole group Jaguars, rather than one individual. 

Donations from our adoptions go both directly to support Jaguars, as well as to fund our wider work to protect nature and our planet. 

Your gift recipient will receive an optional toy and welcome pack. Learn more about what an adoption includes.

If the welcome pack won't arrive in time for a special event such as a birthday, you can print or email a personalised gift certificate online to give while you’re waiting for the pack to arrive. 


Animal adoptions like yours give a huge boost to our work. They not only help fund projects to work with local communities to monitor jaguar movements and help protect their habitat but also fund our other vital work around the world.
