Since the early‑June raid on a Gualeguaychú hunting lodge that seized a protected red deer and undocumented Jersey calves, Argentine authorities have intensified wildlife enforcement and species recovery work. In late June, environmental police released the province’s first GPS‑tracked jaguarundi and a young capybara in Córdoba, marking a new monitoring milestone. July saw the coordinated rescue of 42 vicuñas from an illegal breeding farm in Rodero, Jujuy; the animals were transferred to the INTA Mirafles facility for veterinary care and possible re‑release. Camera‑trap data from Brazil’s Bom Futuro National Forest confirmed a jaguar’s return to restored forest, while Argentina’s Parque Iberá re‑introduction programme reported a free‑ranging jaguar population exceeding 50 individuals, up from 33 in 2024. A jaguar named Ombú triggered partial trail closures in Iberá in mid‑July, prompting tourism operators to warn of economic impacts. By late July, a study highlighted stable overall jaguar numbers but a sharp decline in female density in Brazil’s Mamirauá Reserve, underscoring regional conservation challenges. In early August, renewed jaguar sightings in Corrientes sparked public outreach, school suspensions, and community talks to promote coexistence as the apex predator expands its range across the Iberá ecosystem. On 5 August, a rescued maned wolf was rehabilitated at the Criif “La Esmeralda” centre in Santa Fe and released into Reserva Natural El Fisco. The same week, municipal authorities in Mburucuyá, Corrientes confirmed a jaguar sighting along provincial route 6, urging residents to follow coexistence guidelines. Both events illustrate the continued emphasis on wildlife rescue, monitoring, and safe human‑wildlife interactions across Argentina.
