Amigos de Felinos

ABOUT US

Amigos de Felinos (Friends of Felines) is a civil association constituted by members of communities that coexist with felines. Gente y Fauna is a program from Asociación Confraternidad Guanacasteca, a non-profit NGO whose project "Well-being for Coexistence: communities with jaguars and pumas" facilitates the conformation of Amigos de Felinos. The project is financed thanks to the I Debt-for-Nature Swap between US-CR.

The nascent ventures are developed in the communities of Dos Ríos, El Gavilán, Argelias and Buenos Aires of Upala, Costa Rica.

SPECIES OF

FELIDS

These towns have the joy of keeping jaguars and pumas (along with many other species). Felines are really close by and are part of the everyday life of these people. Coexisting with large species that sometimes prey on domestic animals creates conflict.

The conservation of biodiversity becomes a problem for locals and Amigos de Felinos is a way in which responsible consumers value ​​communities coexisting in harmony with nature.
