This ocelot and her cub are walking in the ancestral rainforests of the Murui Muina people of the Huitorá indigenous reserve in Caquetá, Colombia.  🐾 This glimpse into their nocturnal activities was captured as part of a partnership with the nonprofit @ProCATColombia, during which 35 species of medium-sized #mammals were documented through 60 #wildlife camera traps distributed across the reserve.  📷 Ocelots are highly sensitive to #deforestation because of their large home range and particular carnivorous diet. The expansion of new pasturelands proximal to the reserve threatens the existence of this species. 🌴 The expansion of the Huitorá indigenous reserve by 159,015 acres, accomplished alongside Colombia’s national land agency and the Andes Amazon Fund at the beginning of 2023, nearly doubles the reserve’s original area before the expansion and contributes to the conservation of important #fauna, like ocelots, within the region. 🦜🦥🌳 @agenciatierras, @andesamazonfund #biodiversity #conservation #cuteanimal #wildlife #ecology #Indigenousrights #rainforest #cameratrap #feline #cub #ocelot #ocelots
