Wildlife camera in Guatemala captures a once-in-a-decade snapshot

A camera trap photograph of a male jaguar in Guatemala confirms that jaguars continue to use the Bi-National Corridor, a wildlife highway connecting jaguar populations across the Guatemala-Honduras border, a rare documented crossing that occurs roughly once a decade and signals that conservation efforts protecting the corridor are working.

Jaguars remain Near Threatened overall; 33 of 34 jaguar populations are classified as Endangered or Critically Endangered, with only the Amazonian subpopulation at Least Concern.
