The Yungas Jaguar - Balam - 02-08-2021

Yungas

The Yungas (Aymara yunka warm or temperate Andes or earth, Quechua yunka warm area on the slopes of the Andes) is a narrow band of forest along the eastern slope of the Andes Mountains from Peru, Bolivia, and northern Argentina. It is a transitional zone between the Andean highlands and the eastern forests. Like the surrounding areas, the Yungas belong to the Neotropical realm; the climate is rainy, humid, and warm.

The World Wide Fund for Nature has delineated three yungas ecoregions along the eastern side of the Andes:

  • The northernmost is the Peruvian Yungas, located entirely within Peru and stretching nearly the whole length of the country.
  • The Bolivian Yungas lies to the south, mostly in Bolivia. The Inambari River marks the boundary between the Peruvian Yungas and Bolivian Yungas since the yungas north and south of the river have distinct ecological differences.
  • The Southern Andean Yungas begins in southern Bolivia and continues to the north of Argentina. It is a humid forest region between the drier Gran Chaco region to the east and the dry, high altitude Puna region to the west.
Yungas are transitional zones between the Andean highlands and the eastern forests. The yungas forests are extremely diverse, ranging from moist lowland forest to evergreen montane forest and cloud forests. The terrain is extremely rugged and varied, contributing to the ecological diversity and richness. A complex mosaic of habitats occur with changing latitude as well as elevation. There are high levels of biodiversity and species endemism throughout the yungas regions. Many of the forests are evergreen, and the South Andean Yungas contains what may be the last evergreen forests resulting from Quaternary glaciations.

This jaguar was just given a name: Remigio
NEW JAGUAR IN YUNGAS FORESTS!

A new male that we have nicknamed REMIGIO appeared in our camera traps in the area of influence between the Baritú National Park and the El Nogalar National Reserve, in the north of Salta province, Argentina.

His nickname is in memory of a friend of one of our members who left us this year in an accident.

This specimen, detected for the first time in the area, appears young and in good physical condition. He was photographed in the same place where another male, but large, DIEGO, was also registered, in a frequent interaction in this area.

These records are the result of the work of the Red Yaguareté-Jaguar Network/Baritú National Park Team for more than a decade.
