Conclusion about the question
Most of the people agreed that it is not fair that the government spends a huge amount of money in ammunition and armies instead of helping endangered species such as the Jaguar (Panthera Onca), but they also agreed that they should not spend all the money in the protection of this animals because there are more important things in the country like for example infraestructure and education. They agreed that the government should balance where they spend their money, a part goes to infraestucture, another part to roads, another to secutity, another to education, etc.

Some new ideas to protect this specie?
We can contact the government,for it to help organizations by financing them, also we can ask more people to get involved on this issues affecting the environment, specially on our species panthera onca (jaguar), so more people can take action. We can start more campaigns .
What is the role developed by people to protect this species?
The role of developed people to protect the species , particularly talking of the panthera onca is the creation of campaigns that gives spaces and protection to the species as the Wildlife Conservation Society has done Profunding , this organization have assured and given corridors and spaces for this animal to interbreed and develop without being disturbed by the industries and agriculture producers. In conclusion this is the model we should follow because as developed people we are, we should know thw importance of this specie in the society and the importa
nce of it to survive.

What are some strategies developed to protect the jaguars?
They created some exclusive areas to protect this mammals, they are called “Unidades de conservación del jaguar” (UCJ). In this areas they protect not only the jaguars but also plants and vegetation that are in danger, the areas are home for about 50 jaguars.
--This areas are not exclusive for jaguars, they also have different animals that live there, for example small animals that work as preys for the jaguars--
“National and international conservation strategies have reduced the number of jaguars killed annually.”(Philip Hershkovitz) WWF has worked with the government of Brazil to successfully protect large blocks of Amazon forest for the jaguar. In Peru, WWF continues to track jaguars to learn more about their habitat requirements.(World Wide Foundation.)
