Highlighted Activities
Jaguars were almost extirpated from the US decades ago, but recently
some isolated individuals have been seen crossing the border from
México to the US. The US government through the USFWS has the
mission of developing a recovery plan for the northern jaguar. As the
northern jaguar population occurs in México, it was obvious that only
cross-border conservation approach was needed to achieve that
goal. USFWS invited CBSG to design and facilitate this workshop
and CBSG México was invited to assist. Thirty-one people from 25
institutions attended this bilingual workshop.
In order to focus efforts for amphibian conservation in Argentina, AArk along with ALPZA organized a workshop to identify the conservation needs for all amphibian species in Argentina. CBSG México assisted in facilitating this
workshop, and also conducted training for amphibian conservation professionals from the south region of South America.The main objectives were to teach sound techniques to raise, breed and maintain amphibians, and to develop conservation projects managing captive amphibian
populations. CBSG México helped in organizing and developing the course content, and facilitated the course.
