ENDANGER JAGUARS

Did you know that Jaguars the most Endanger animal out of all of the animals in the rainforest? I am not lying but it is true. There use to be 200,000 Jaguars but now It is 170,000. They are very near to be extinct. Think of a number line with 0 to 100. The scales now is 55%. 55 is closer to 100 but almost reaching 0. There will be almost no Jaguars if we continue to let poachers hunt for their skins. Jaguars continue to roam throughout Central and South America. But this beautiful and elusive big cat is listed as “near threatened” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. In some regions, the jaguar is already critically endangered or locally extinct. Hunting, loss of prey, agricultural development and urban expansion throughout the 20th century led to mass population declines. More than 15,000 jaguars were killed.
