Original: Jaguar Trafficking in Latin America Persists Through Bone Paste and Pet Smuggling https://www. occrp.org/en/news/jaguar-

Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project reports that jaguar trafficking continues across Latin America, with the animals' bones ground into paste exported to Asia as a substitute for tiger products, while cubs are smuggled alive to be sold as exotic pets. The investigation highlights persistent gaps in enforcement despite international protections for the species.

Why now: A new investigative report by the OCCRP has drawn attention to the ongoing illegal jaguar trade.
