May 2010. In last April, there were jaguar attacks on livestock in the center of Formosa province. Very quickly, the subsecretary of Environment of the province, Dr. Hugo Bay, took up the matter and as agreed within the "Chaco region Jaguar Conservation Subcommittee", contacted the group and began to implement the "Potential conflict jaguar cases Action Protocol" to instances of which had been designed and agreed in this interinstitutional agency.

Basically, this agreement consists to develop a series of rapid action to avoid bigger conflicts, loss of domestic animals and foremost, the hunting of involved jaguars.

Thus, Formosa authorities responded with great agility, were present in the area, noted the occurrence of attacks and generated a series of meetings with local residents to advise on the matter. It was very interesting the interinstitutional participation of all who are involved and committed to this issue: Provincial Police, National Parks Administration, National Wildlife Direction and Jaguyar Network (Red Yaguareté), framed by an excellent communication that favored enrichment of experience.

Highlights for us, the high commitment of the Formosa authorities undoubtedly key to changing a situation that historically ends badly for our Tiger Criollo and the owner of affected cattle. Because of this, they have all our gratitude and support to continue working in this way: we must live with the Jaguars where men pass into its territory, and this time it was shown that this is possible.
