More than two years later, they heard from him again. Diego appeared again in another area, about 32 kilometers further south, in the heart of Baritú National Park, province of Salta, where he was photographed. “This great achievement is the result of the effort and joint work of the Monitoring Team Red Yaguareté and PN Baritú,” they said in Twitter.La Red Yaguareté is a Non-Profit Foundation created in 2001 with the aim of saving this species. “We are ordinary people taking on an extraordinary role. We address all the threats that have pushed our Spotted to the limit and we are reversing it,” they describe in their networks. The jaguar, declared a Natural Monument of Argentina, is an endangered species, victim of illegal hunting and habitat loss, among other threats. At the beginning of the twentieth century its habitat reached up to the Argentine Patagonia, but since then its distribution has been reduced by 95%
