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.

A testimony of the last pampas jaguars

“...many people don't know that there were jaguars in their province. That is to say, it disappeared from memory, it disappeared from the imaginary and that is the most ruthless extinction: oblivion”.

- Claudio Bertonatti (Azara Foundation)





"During the year 1900, in the then called San Basilio ranch, close to the towns of Rancul and Chamaicó, the hunting of an adult female jaguar was documented. It is also known that the female had two cubs, one of which was raised by the ranch's butler until in 1903 when they decided to kill him because of his danger. The unfortunate event was recorded by means of this photograph (courtesy of Raul Carman) and shows the butler of the estancia with family and friends together with one of the last pampas jaguars..."
