Analysis

Brazil Dominates Total Count
Brazil holds 86,800 jaguars, which is over 51% of the 168,907 total across 20 countries. Peru follows with 22,000, while USA and Colombia each have 15,000. Venezuela reports 9,800 and Mexico 4,800. These top five countries account for most of the population. The data highlights a strong concentration in South America.
Decline from Amazon Core
Populations drop sharply outside Brazil's 86,800. Peru at 22,000 and Colombia at 15,000 show high numbers near the Amazon. USA has 15,000, but Mexico only 4,800 and Panama 4,000. Further north, Nicaragua has 1,350 and Honduras 1,200. This pattern shows dwindling numbers northward from the core area.
Small Populations in Central America
Central American countries have low counts: Nicaragua 1,350, Honduras 1,200, Guyana 950, Belize 900, and Costa Rica 852. Guatemala reports 600, Suriname 455, and French Guiana 380. These figures are far below Brazil's 86,800 or even Peru's 22,000. The total remains 168,907, but small nations contribute little.
Lowest Counts in South
Southern countries have the smallest populations: Argentina 220 and Paraguay 100. Bolivia has 2,500, Ecuador 2,000, and Venezuela 9,800 higher up. Brazil's 86,800 contrasts sharply with these lows. The total of 168,907 includes all, but extremes underline uneven distribution. Conservation needs vary by region.

FAQ

It counts the estimated number of individual wild jaguars in each country or territory. Values are absolute headcounts from aggregated estimates for 2023. The total of 168,907 is the sum across 20 listed areas. No per capita or density adjustments are applied.

High counts like Brazil's 86,800 indicate core habitats with suitable conditions. Over 51% of total jaguars live there. Lower numbers, such as Paraguay's 100, signal limited range or threats. The data shows geographic concentration matters for species health.

Estimates are for 2023 only. No historical or forecast data is included. The 168,907 total reflects that year's aggregated counts from listed countries. Sources do not specify update frequency.

Counts come from aggregated estimates, as stated in the source. Exact methods are not detailed. Values match source table totals, like Brazil's 86,800 summing correctly to 168,907. The available sources do not specify further on surveys or models used.
