1/6 Excited to share our new #biologicalconservation paper on the #illegalwildlifetrade of #jaguars in #Belize and #Guatemala by @EJMilnerGulland @orchiddelirium and myself, in partnership with @WCS_Mesoamerica. Free access for a limited time at: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 
2/6 Based on key informant interviews, we found that #jaguartrade is a #domestic and #opportunistic activity, driven by local actors for a range of #motivations, and with ties to #humanwildlifeconflict, #bushmeathunting, #Chinesedemand, #drugtrafficking, #migration and #tourism
3/6 By separating statements into well #evidenced examples vs. #assumptions, we found that the areas of higher #uncertainty in the #jaguartrade include the role of external actors and drivers, and of commercial motivations.
