After a complaint of the Red Yaguareté (Jaguar Network) and in a swift and well coordinated operation, a Jaguar skin that was offered for sale in a shop was confiscated in the city of Bahía Blanca, in Buenos Aires province.

On Friday June 4 we received the complaint through the Jaguar Network, we ask the complainant (whose identity we always keep in reserve) to take photographs to document the crime, which they did quickly and efficiently. On Monday 7,we made the complaint at the UFIMA and Tuesday 8, this prosecution in an excellent and unprecedented coordination with the Environmental Crimes Division of the Federal Police and the Department of Fauna and Flora of the Ministry of Land Affairs of Buenos Aires province, seized the skin.

This represents a breakthrough in the fight to finish with trade and trafficking of jaguar skins. This type of operations were unthinkable three years ago, as well as to bring such cases to justice and ensure good sanctions as we are getting.

Esto representa un enorme avance en la lucha para terminar con el comercio y tráfico de pieles de Yaguareté. Hace tres años atrás era impensado realizar este tipo de operativos, como así también llevar estos casos a la justicia y lograr sanciones ejemplificadoras como las que estamos consiguiendo.

Now, actiosn will continue in courts for violation of laws 25.463 (Jaguar National Natural Monument), 22.421 (National Law of Wildlife Conservation) y 22.351 (Argentina National Parks Administration).
