There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
''Yesterday afternoon around 11:20 this jaguar, Pachamamo, was photographed on the river edge of the Porto Jofre village.
Camera traps were set in the community in efforts to try to identify the individual that is attacking the locals dogs and getting very close to their homes at night.
These are the camera trap photos of Pachamamo walking through the village last night. Followed by a video of a resident showing where the Jaguar walked through.
Please help us reach our fundraising goal to help buy the material needed to place an electric fence around this village.
We are half way there!''

''This jaguar or another individual has been consuming domestic animals very frequently, our neighbors, adults and children are very afraid of being attacked all the time.
Usually jaguars are not in the habit of attacking humans, statistically the number of attacks is still very low, approximately 50 attacks in 120 years. We are monitoring until we find a solution to the problem, at least an electric fence would be necessary to protect the community.''
