Jaguar conservation efforts in the Southwest are important to helping to protect the complex ecosystem so important to humanity. The Chihuahuan Desert Education Coalition will sponsor a special virtual presentation by Michael J. Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity on regional efforts to help bring back jaguars on Wednesday evening, May 31, 6:30pm Mountain Time on Zoom.   Be sure to register for this free Zoom presentation.
