A Suitable Home for Antonio: A Community-Based Biocultural Corridor for Wild Felid Conservation in Private Reserves within the Serranía de los Paraguas KBA, Colombia

This project is developed on rural farms and Civil Society Natural Reserves within the KBA Serranía de los Paraguas, part of the Tropical Andes and Biogeographic Chocó biodiversity hotspots and the DRMI Serranía de los Paraguas protected area. Unsustainable livestock near forests safeguarding water sources has triggered human-wildlife conflicts (HWCs), tied to land-use change, biodiversity and ecosystem service loss, livestock predation, and retaliatory poaching. To address this, we propose a bottom-up approach involving landscape planning, adaptive livestock practices, sustainable energy for rural homes, behavior change toward wildlife, and community-based jaguar monitoring. This promotes long-term coexistence and improves life quality for people and jaguars, contributing to the Global Biodiversity Framework targets and Sustainable Development Goals, aligned with coexistence principles: do no harm, collaborate, understand context, integrate science and policy, and ensure sustainable pathways.
