Felid Conservation Status and Conservation of Endangered Cats Along the U.S.-Mexico Border
2001 Endangered Species UPDATE (18): 129-132
This paper reviews the research and conservation projects associated with the Bordercats Working Group, a group of scientists and advocates concerned with the status of neotropical cats in northern Mexico and the American Southwest. For ocelots (Leopardus pardalis), jaguarundis (Herpailurus yaguarondi) and jaguars (Panthera onca), this region is the northernmost limit of their geographical distribution. We review the results of our field surveys for bordercats in Arizona, Chihuahua, Coahuila, New Mexico, Nuevo Leon, Sonora, Tamaulipas, and Texas; describe a GIS-based habitat mapping project for bordercats; and discuss what conservation-related activities are critical for the long-term survival of the cats in the border regions.
