Anger over killing of adult jaguar
A social media posting of a killed jaguar is angering animal lovers.
The undated photograph reportedly made on Facebook was reportedly pulled down.
It shows a large cat dead in the small boat with what appears to be a man standing triumphantly over him.
Jaguars, like other wild cats are protected under the Wildlife Management and Conservation Regulations, 2013, which is currently being repealed under the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act 2016.
The killed jaguar
Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, had reportedly attended a high-level forum on jaguars that was held on March 1, 2018 at the UN Head Quarters in New York.
The forum saw representations from 14 jaguar countries, international and national partner organizations.
The forum launched the Jaguar 2030 New York Statement.
The statement recognizes that investing in the conservation of jaguars and their habitats can improve broader efforts to manage natural resources, strengthen community livelihoods, and contribute to achieving the sustainable development goals
The statement also highlights the need for range country governments and partners to explore options for a regional approach that promotes research, increases awareness, and scales up successful integrated conservation initiatives.
It recognizes the need for greater investments in nature-based solutions for development challenges linked to Jaguars.
A priority area for Guyana is the implementation of the Jaguar 2030 New York Statement.
