A unique monitoring project by Wildlife Conservation Society Guatemala reveals the dramatic consequences of global warming on wild animal populations. On July 27, 2025, expert teams installed specialized motion-activated cameras in the northern tropical forests, aiming to document the survival of endangered species during an unprecedented drought.
High-tech devices captured exceptional footage of rare species such as jaguars and tapirs, which use artificially created water points for cooling and hydration. The innovative intervention is carried out through a partnership between conservation non-governmental organizations and local volunteer groups.
Researchers emphasize that such targeted human actions can significantly support ecosystem resilience under extreme climate conditions. The project serves as a compelling model for direct nature conservation intervention and demonstrates the potential of scientifically-based conservation strategies.
