OUR CALLS FOR PROPOSALS

Since 2017 we launched this initiative to find projects together that are most capable of making the conservation of native species such as the jaguar a reality.

In Chile 🇨🇱, since the jaguar does not exist, we work for the conservation of the most adaptable feline that lives from North to South America: the puma.

WHAT BENEFITS WILL
THE SELECTED PROJECTS HAVE?

We will offer support with technical and financial resources for the registration, monitoring, verification and reporting necessary to issue and commercialize carbon credits certified under the highest international standards (VCS + CCB y Gold Standard).See more+

The sale of carbon credits will generate revenues for the conservation of fauna and flora and the improvement of the community's living conditions.

Your project will contribute to the connectivity of the Jaguar Corridor to help conserve biodiversity.

Panthera's monitoring efforts will generate new information that is useful for land and jaguar management within the project area.

The selected initiatives will receive technical support to learn about the conservation status of medium and large vertebrate species found in the project area.

To participate follow these steps:
