Jaguar del Cielo
Jaguar Del Cielo follows field tech Felix Tafoya’s journey to better understand and conserve Mexico’s apex predator in the El Cielo Biosphere Reserve in Tamaulipas, Mexico. By catching jaguars and fitting them with GPS collars, Felix and his co-workers are able to track the movement of jaguars and get insights into their mysterious and elusive lives. The information collected from the collars is crucial to better understand the species and to mitigate conflicts with humans, which is imperative for the long-term conservation of jaguars.

Is there a place to donate for these women to continue this. I know BLM provides for the drug only, does not pay these women anything, for their vehicles, gas, time, tires the dart guns. 75% of funds to BLM for this goes to admin. Sad.....how can we help these volunteers?
Absolutely inspiring all around. They are doing admirable work and you just can feel the amount of care they put into it
It was great meeting you the last two days Ben! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and time with me!
muy bueno!!
add lions. not like puma lions, like Panthera Leo lions. after all just take a peak beyond the ice age. #rewild #safetythird #restauration
Happy to see more of these uploads. Keep up the great work.
Loved the film, my grandfather was from Ocampo, a town in the southern part of the reserve. I remember he told us about the jaguars that came down from the mountains and arrived at his ranch.
hasn't Tony been working on this project too ?
Well done by the Fin and Fur team. Y muchas gracias por el trabajo hecho por el equipo del proyecto jaguar 🙏
Any one ever heard about stories or seen mountain lions near King Ranch/ RGV area?
So stupid.
wonderful
I just got done watching the unbranded doc. Absolutely spectacular. Its had quite the profound effect on me, i still have tears in my eyes. I learned SO MUCH about why its important to control the populations of wild herds and that BLM isn't this evil boogeyman. I cried when cricket died and i was proud of yall when you made decisions that kept the horses safe. I feel like Johnny is a ass but....oh well Also, the donkey was absolutely legendary....great idea and i think really showcased that bens personality. So im officially a lifetime supporter of fin and fur films. ❤
Donald J. Trump is a monumental pain in the ass.
Where can I watch this?
I saw one on my way home (rgv) from working in west texas. It was heading south about and hour before the Falfurrias checkpoint.
It is beautiful….but how many illegal aliens will it take coming into our country before we figure out some way to secure that portion of the border? Opponents of the wall will find out in a couple of years when our nation has been reduced to a dilapidated, wrecked, littered third world country. It’s already begun in many areas. Have you tried to get a doctors appointment in the past few years?
You're a retard if you think they're actually going to build a wall in between two cliffs and a river. Trump has said many times that there are tons of natural borders in Texas that will remain untouched, landmarks that will remain preserved. But leftists are unable to do even the slightest bit of research. Instead they'll pour hundreds of thousands into making a show to lie to people instead of just seeking actual truth. It's gross
Come paddle with us sometime, Sophia.
Looks like you have converted one. It is a good start.
I ran path with one summer 2021 in san antonio off 211 couldn't been more then 8 months old. I was walking in chet hi grass not thick but enough to see a mountain lion hopping in the grass 15 feet front me. I never seen one ever. Always heard stories of them out skirts Seguin. The cub kinda looked at me but was not interested in me. But I called him over with kissing sounds snapping fingers he wasn't interested in me at all other then 60 seconds looking at me. He only looked at me because I called him. Real beautiful animal. He left in a blink of an eye
I live out here in New Braunfels by panther canyon and I swear I hear something in the night/early mornings!
Just found out today
Beautiful all the way through
Thanks, some of the best films on my home state.
Well done. Thanks for championing conservation is such a good way. I love it. -Daniel
Thanks to all for making this documentary...& showing the environmental damage, & land taking that would occur. Our neighbors to the south, & north for that matter, should be prioritized for entry to the U.S. to work, & assimilate. PEOPLE from around the world enter at airports around the country, & no one is in an uproar about that !! Green card vets were lied to, & other people from the south have worked here for years, paid taxes...then are seperated from their families. ..this is inhumane, heartless, & makes no sense. Most are of indigenous decent, & should be able to go back, & forth. Everything on our tables has been put there by immigrants !! WE should be more greatful, since our population is in decline, that our neighbors want to come here, & contribute. Unless you are 100 0/0 Native American...we all come from immigrants !! LOVE THY NEIGHBOR...GOD'S LAW...♡☆♡
I have been to many areas of our southern border as a consultant to CBP/DHS. If more people would really do a little research, they would see that there is no "open border". The land areas where there is no existing fence are so inhospitable that many people die trying to cross it. The vast majority of drugs and people here illegally come in through checkpoints and by airplanes. It is extremely easy to come in as a visitor and not leave. There is no reason to destroy the natural habitat that these animals need to survive.
Thanks for sharing …how very special and spectacular!
from what ive read.."the wall" was never planned to be built in places where it was'nt needed..like "wild" places that are near impossible to cross
I’ve been a longtime proponent of a “big beautiful wall,” but an outdoorsman and lover of wildlife and wild places long before that. This film has really given me something to think about. Thank you.
I wonder what river he is paddling on in the first 1/2 of the film?
Most likely Guadalupe
Davis Mountains, especially Mount Livermore, should be a National Park
Tell me y’all finished this
Wonderful video. As the daughter of a man like this child’s father, I know she will remember this the rest of her life. I’m 70 and this flooded me with wonderful memories of my father and all he taught me about the natural world, including climate change, population growth and what it would do to the environment, including the water supply.
I’m 70. When I was a kid we lived in Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. There was a rancher who had a pet cougar he’d found as a kitten whom he took everywhere. One time we were at the grocery store and he turned up,and tied the cougar outside the store. When my Mom read she was oblivious. I snuck out of car and cuddled the cougar, who purred and loved being scratched behind her ears. Eventually, Mom looked up and started screaming at me about being eaten. The cougar gave me a look of pity and I returned the car. I got the whole “wait til your father comes back” lecture. Daddy came back, twisted in his seat and gave me a short lecture. Then he winked at me and we drove home. Not the brightest thing to do but what an incredible moment in my life. I love and respect cougars (no cuddling) as a result. Second part result of the private chat my father and I had later.
Ben, I just saw Unbranded. Outstanding film! Disappointed w Fitzsimons' attitude at the end. Just loved it as someone who did field work on grizz and pronghorn at UM. So I am checking what you have been up to. Really disappointed about this film, especially now that Biden's border policy has let thousands from 160 countries cross our borders unvetted.
why not focus on helping people get on their feet in the pandemic and off the streets ... you are focusing on a problem that has been on the back burner for good reason
Managed to see this movie, was very eye opening. Beautiful country. Beautiful people.
American's would be giving up the Rio Grande, water is Life!!!! You will be waterless! Who drove you guys to such madness? Like cutting your nose off, to spite your face.
As a woman, I understand the lack of social status. Female social status was removed 000's of years ago. The impact of sexism = more than 800 impregnated girls die every 24 hours. [source: W. H.O. 2015]
I live in England, it's cold grey wet 90% of the year, I long to migrate south... my joints ache when there's no vitamin D ~ sunlight. Being a migrant is healthy for all of nature.
Overpopulation isn't an actual thing.
Billionaire Class are Borderless, Stateless and Moneyless. We should all be. Most of nature heads south in the colder months, keeping humans trapped in 1 spot leads to inbreeding.
Walls are a sign of Political Failure. It's Divide & Conquer. Keep human being segregated, raise them to hate each other, lest we unite, as one, and rise up against tyranny. It's also a Landgrab, taking land from farmers. It is also a political strategy, the voter is encouraged to feel threatened and so continue to vote against their own best interest. Most immigrants fly in.
I’ve seen one just south of Pecos Tx outside the Lindsey area
