        Onçafari project and partners capture 112 kg male jaguar in 2012

During an Oncafari Project capture expedition earlier this month, staff from the National Center for Carnivorous Mammal Research and Conservation (Cenap) at the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) accompanied by environmental analyst Rômulo Mello captured a jaguar adult male with 112 kg in Miranda, South Mato Grosso.

The Onçafari Project is coordinated by Cenap / ICMBio in partnership with Wildlife Conservation and Caiman Ecological Refuge. The goal is to establish protocols for jaguar sighting touris thus to increase the chances of tourists seeing the animal in its natural environment without changes in behavior and any risk of accident.
