Statement of the Problem:
The Pantaneira plain is a true sanctuary with strong conservation of fauna and flora. Most of the areas are
private and used for livestock production.The objective was geo referencing points where the Jaguar has slaughtered domestic animals;
How far away is that in relation to the house of the farm workers; development management suggest actions for the conservation of
wild species.
Methodology &Theoretical Orientation:
The work was carried out at the Bodoquena Farm which is prized for the conservation of
wild animals. The cattle are found in pastures located between reserved of forest and river with protected border. When a characterized
carcass killed by jaguar is found, the GPS coordinates were taken and the cameras trails was put there. The research occurs on the
period of 12/2015 to 05/2017.
Findings:
It was geo referenced 91 points with carcasses. Bovine animals appear to be easier prey than wild animals (tapirs, deer,
capybara, peccary, greater rhea, alligators, spotted paca, etc.). When the Jaguar goes out in search of food (natural prey) they first
found cattle, for the facility and opportunity of attack, they end up preying the domestic animals. Possibly this jaguar’s generations
that learned to feed cattle. Many of the wild animals preyed on by the Jaguar now live together cattle or near human homes where they
find protection. Recently, cattle were killed by Jaguar within 61m of the residence of a cowboy. There is no record of Jaguar's attack on
humans on this farm, however, they are approaching closer to the residences, although to get cattle or capybaras.
Conclusion & Significance:
On the region need create ecological areas, a fauna management project with the purpose of conservation
and sustainable. For avoiding the approach of the jaguar near the residences and a possible human accident Brazil public power need
to take steps to create ecological reserves and conservation areas to do the fauna in this region. It is important one fauna management
program predation control of cattle by Jaguar.
