The Taiamã Ecological Station is an area of 115,55km2 in the Pantanal biome and is located in the municipality of Cáceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The station is also situated inside an area of great population density of jaguars. Georeferenced images of Panthera onca were taken in the rivers located around and at the borders of the station, with 27 distinct individuals recorded over several years. These photographic records, along with information obtained from the literature, make it plausible to assume that the station’s current area is not sufficient to legally protect the feline population in the region. This study suggests an increase in the size of this conservation unit.
