| First Camera Trap Photos of the Andean Cat in the Sajama National Park and Natural Area of Integrated Management, Boliva | |
| 2006 Cat News (44): 23-23 | |
The Sajama National Park is one of the 8 Bolivian protected areas located in the potential range of distribution of _Oreailurus jacobita_, the Andean cat. It is also the second National Park in Bolivia where the species presence is officially confirmed. The last indication of the presence of the Andean cat in Sajama National Park was a skin found in 2002 (Villalba et al. 2004). The Andean cat is classified in the category "Endangered" in the 2004 IUCN Red list and in the Appendix I of the CITES convention and it is therefore considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. |
