The Last Remaining Jaguar

The Last Remaining Jaguar: The return of Arizona's largest predator. A film made, produced and edited by Anna Gniwotta, Elena Kortmann, Andrea Polanco and Filip Raketic. Student film project with Arizona State University, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and the School of Sustainability. We produced this film as part of a sustainability documentary class, after finding out and being surprised by the presence of jaguars in Arizona. We hoped to throw a spotlight on the history of jaguars here, how they have been returning, and their importance to ecosystems. By speaking with many wildlife, conservation, and jaguar experts, we wanted to find out what could be done about this and how we could support the jaguar's return to the USA. We hope you engage with and enjoy this film, and become involved in helping endangered species and especially top predators to be welcomed back into the landscapes they once inhabited and belong in.
