The Jaguars in the New Millennium Data Set is a geographically-based priority setting exercise for jaguars throughout their range. The Wildlife Conservation Society, with the help of 35 jaguar experts from throuhgout this great cat's range, created the first data set in 1999. The Wildlife Conservaiton Society updated this data set in 2006 with the help of 89 jaguar experts. The experts were surveyed to assess the state of knowledge about the ecology, distribution, and conservation status of the jaguar, to identify priority areas for is conservation on a range-wide basis, and to build an international consensus for the conservation of the species.
Raster data depicting estimated jaguar energy expenditure required to move north from the US-Mexico border to reach important water sources. The data were generated for five scenarios: walled, un-walled crossing and three remediation scenarios: a border crossing through the wall in rugged terrain towards the west end of the wall, a crossing in a dry wash centrally located, one in less rugged terrain east of both.
