Abstract
This paper summarizes the findings from a priority-setting and planning exercise for the jaguar sponsored by the Wildlife Conservation in 1999. Field scientists from 18 countries reached consensus on four types of information: (1) the spatial extent of their jaguar knowledge, (2) the known, currently occupied range of jaguars, (3) areas with substantial jaguar populations, adequate habitat, and a stable and diverse prey base, and (4) point localities where jaguars have been observed during the last 10 years. From these results, a prioritization mechanism to determine the most important areas for jaguar conservation was developed.
