projeto onçafari

"This conservation nonprofit was established in 2011 with a focus on the jaguars of Brazil’s Pantanal region. Since then, Onçafari has expanded its mandate to many other species—and its operations to 16 different bases across the country. Work in species rehabilitation, scientific research, and other areas is supported, in part, by the organization’s ecotourism offerings: spotting maned wolves in the Cerrado; animal tracking and night kayaking in the Atlantic Forest; jaguar observation at Caiman Ecological Refuge in the Pantanal, where it all began. In 2024, as intense fires in the region have burned an estimated 10,000 square miles and counting, Onçafari has launched the Pantanal Recovery Fund to help treat injured animals, rebuild impacted reserves, and support firefighting efforts."
