Cockscomb: Jaguar Proud

The Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary was the world’s first jaguar
reserve. Today, more than twenty years after its creation, the
sanctuary remains a model for wildlife conservation – and a point of
pride for all Belizeans, who have long revered the jaguar in spirit
and flesh. In this film, CAVU takes you airborne, high above the
Cockscomb wilderness for an overhead look, then deep into its leafy
jungles, where scientists, park rangers, Mayan leaders and ranchers
discuss the future of the reserve and its jaguars. Working together
with local communities, the Wildlife Conservation Society, Panthera
and Belize Audubon are helping to ensure that the Cockscomb sanctuary
forever remains a sacred place for all Belizeans – and the jaguar.
