WORLD JAGUAR DAY

"As Waorani, we are descendants of the Jaguar. When we die, we convert back into Jaguars, where we carry on our work to defend the forest. For us, Jaguars symbolize respect. They are the protectors of the forest. Our relation to the spirit of the Jaguar makes us stronger and more courageous in defending our territory. A threat to Jaguars is a threat to ourselves. We need to protect them more than ever.”

— Jairo Irumenga, Waorani leader, Executive Director Ceibo Alliance
