Our vision
We aim to mitigate the human-puma conflict in the ecoregion, ensuring the conservation of puma populations and the viability of livestock production.
Our mision
To study and conserve puma populations (Puma concolor) in the Pampas ecoregion, Argentina.
Us
Summary
Until just over a decade ago, knowledge about the puma (Puma concolor) in the Pampas was so scarce that some distribution maps didn't include (and currently it's not commonly mapped either) the feline in this extensive area, considering it extinct. The research conducted within the framework of the "Pampas Puma Project" revealed reproductive populations and the existence of a recolonization process that currently spans the entire ecoregion. Recently, over two hundred surveys have been conducted with livestock farmers who have experienced puma predation incidents to assess their attitudes and perceptions regarding the species, while implementing conflict mitigation interventions.
(2009-2020)🐣
In 2009, the "Pampas Puma Project" was initiated. Here, we tell you about how it all began and the journey we have undertaken up to 2020.
