Panthera onca goldmani is the suspecies that we can cross from Yuum Balam National Protected Area down to Calakmul Biosfere Reserve passing by Sian Ka'an Biosfere Reserve, both part of UNESCO World Heritage since the late 80's.
"Kaxan Balam" Project ("look for jaguar" in maya yucateco) pretend to start an investigation about jaguar presence in some parts of Quintana Roo state. The first part of the project would bring us the first piece of information throught testimonies and physical evidence (foot prints, scratches, dregs...) that provides the leads for investigation 2nd part which includes the use of camara trail stations.
Such a project help us to know about jaguar population's general health, the abundance of the preys which is a general indicator to know how the local ecosystem is doing
