Alejandro’s photo story is a sensitive and thoughtful portrayal of the jaguars of Mexico and their enduring struggle to survive. Mexico’s jaguar population has declined dramatically since the beginning of the twentieth century, with fewer than 5,000 remaining. If the pattern continues, extinction is inevitable. Yet Alejandro still hopes there is time to change the jaguar’s story.
Jaguars are at constant risk from human activity where they live in South America and Mexico. These enigmatic animals are being assaulted from all sides – poaching, habitat loss, persecution and conflict with ranchers. The narrative can only change if humans stop and allow jaguars to make use of their extraordinary ability to adapt.
