In October, two jaguar cubs went missing following a relocation operation in a nature reserve in Misiones, Argentina, close to the Brazilian border. The Environmental Crime Unit, led by Ramiro González, has launched an investigation to determine if there were procedural failures during the release. The cubs were lost from monitoring systems, prompting concerns about their safety and leading to judicial inquiries.

The relocation took place in an area dubbed "Las 2,000 hectares" near Puerto Iguazú, where the jaguar's frequent appearances had stirred fear among local residents. To avert potential conflicts between the jaguars and the surrounding human population, it was decided to transport the adult female jaguar, named Pará, along with her cubs to a less populated area. The concerns arise primarily from the challenges of ensuring the safety of jaguars when relocating them back into the wild.

Investigators from the Subcommittee for the Conservation of the Jaguar Population in Paraná Forest have reported the female jaguar's disappearance, shedding light on the difficulties of wildlife conservation in areas where human and animal habitats clash. This situation underscores the importance of effective management and monitoring in conservation projects, especially for endangered species like the jaguar, which is crucial for maintaining ecological balance.
