We have been lucky enough to work with many great organizations in many different fields of studies.  One of these organizations is called Idea Wild.  Idea Wild has aided over 1500 projects in 45 developing countries around the globe - and these numbers increase every year.  Essentially, they find grants and other sources of money to help fund many, many different research projects. 

    Their whole goal is to help promote biodiversity around the globe.  They were kind enough to share some amazing pictures and some great information from one of their research projects that I can pass on to you! 

    This particular project was headed by Biologist Verónica Quiroga.  The project was located in the Chaco region of Argentina.  The project was aimed at the Jaguar (Panthera onca), which is indigenous to this region.  In Argentina, the Jaguar is considered endangered and their populations have gone down 85% (Click the link to read Verónica Quiroga's full 2008 Report).
