The amount imposed arises from the economic calculation of the environmental damage caused by the loss of this specimen made by the National Directorate of Conservation of the APN, based on various aspects and environmental variables, to be taken into account.
Within the framework of a judicial process, described as “historic”, these types of resolutions “are exemplary and crucial to stop the hunting of jaguar specimens, which generally go unpunished and without consequences for hunters,” it was indicated.
The hunting of specimens of native fauna, and particularly large and medium-sized mammals threatened with extinction, is prohibited at the national and provincial levels.
