Jaguar Rewilding in Argentina

Season 1 Episode 5 | 5m 07s

The translocation of jaguars is part of an ambitious 20-year initiative to rewild the Iberá Wetlands of Argentina. It has been conservation director Sebastian De Martino’s childhood dream to restore the country’s lost ecosystems. Now, he is seeing that dream realized in his work with former Patagonia CEO turned conservationist Kris Tompkins.

Made possible in part by support provided by Sue Hart-Wadley and Searle Wadley with additional support from Jerry Cox.
