Santa Fe Borderlands Jaguar Film Screening with Northern Jaguar Project

Pioneering conservationist Diana Hadley and her late husband, Peter Marshall, along with other conservationists and binational researchers, founded the Northern Jaguar Project in 2004, creating a private reserve for jaguars in Sonora, Mexico, that has now grown to 56,000 acres. A unique partnership with local ranchers to conserve wildlife in the Sierra Madre has expanded this protected area further, with the mission of protecting the northernmost jaguar population.

Event graciously hosted by Southwest Explorers League!

Borderlands Jaguar produced by Fin & Fur Films is a thrilling 52-minute documentary that follows wildlife cinematographers Austin Alvarado and Ben Masters on a quest to document the elusive species and highlight the importance of conserving wildlife corridors along the US-Mexico border. To achieve their mission, Austin and Ben seek the help of a legendary Arizona houndsman, a jaguar hunter turned conservationist, and researchers at the Northern Jaguar Project in Sonora, Mexico. They discover the matriarch of the reserve, Libélula, a twelve-year-old jaguar whose cubs could potentially migrate to the United States.
