The next sensational discovery!

🐾🌿 Where the jaguar roams, the forest thrives 💚

Fresh jaguar tracks were recently discovered not far from the La Gamba Tropical Station. Following the tapir sighting, this is already the next encouraging observation this year. It shows how vibrant this ecosystem can be when interconnected habitats are preserved. The jaguar is at the top of the food chain – its presence signifies: sufficient prey, intact forests, and functioning ecological connections.

But these very connections have become rare.

Jaguars need large, quiet forest areas and safe migration corridors to hunt, reproduce, and survive long-term. The La Gamba Biological Corridor (COBIGA) connects habitats in southern Costa Rica – between protected areas, rivers, rainforest remnants, and reforested areas. Every section of the corridor, every area we protect, purchase, and rewild, is a piece of the future for the jaguar – and for countless other species.

As an apex predator, the jaguar maintains ecological balance. It regulates herbivores, protects natural forest regeneration, and thus ensures the diversity of the rainforest. If it disappears, the system falters.

Globally, the jaguar is endangered. Its habitat is shrinking, and its migration routes are interrupted. But here, around La Gamba, we have the chance to counteract this.

With your donation, you support:

• the expansion and securing of the COBIGA Biological Corridor,
• the reforestation of important connecting areas,
• monitoring with camera traps to detect jaguars and other key species,
• and the long-term protection of one of Costa Rica’s most biodiverse rainforest areas.

Every jaguar track reminds us of what is possible – if we act now.
Help keep the rainforest connected.
