The Jaguar Rivers Initiative is a transboundary alliance to restore, protect and reconnect the Paraná River Basin led by four grassroots NGOs: Onçafari 🇧🇷, Fundación Moisés Bertoni 🇵🇾, Nativa 🇧🇴 & Rewilding Argentina 🇦🇷

It builds on decades of proven success: Rewilding Argentina’s 25‑year track record restoring ecosystems and livelihoods in Iberá and Impenetrable; Onçafari’s 14-year leadership in the Brazilian Pantanal, where jaguar habituation protocols and ecotourism have turned wildlife into a living asset, worth far more alive than dead; NATIVA Bolivia’s 22‑year commitment to empowering the Indigenous governance of conservation areas and Moisés Bertoni’s 35 years of managing Paraguay’s largest private reserve and implementing projects with multilateral and international cooperation organizations, focused on sustainable development and nature conservation. Building on this solid foundation, the Initiative plans to scale these successful regional models across the Paraná River Basin.

By reconnecting ecosystems and communities, the Jaguar Rivers Initiative offers a new vision for the future of conservation in South America: one where rivers are no longer barriers or boundaries, but living lifelines to a wilder, more resilient continent.
