A jaguar walks around the areas of Cerrejón
During the last years, our network of camera traps has detected the presence of different animals in our conserved areas.
In these images, this network managed to record the presence of an adult jaguar and a puma that share the same water source and the same hunting territory in the more than 8,000 hectares protected by the company.
Based on our monitoring, we have recorded the presence of more than 35 mammal species live in the biological corridor created near our site including 10 jaguars, 15 pumas, and more than 30 ocelots, as well as deer and zaínos, which are preferred by these large predators. The presence of these species indicates that the ecosystem has recovered adequate conditions for these animals to have shelter, water, food, and a space for their passage.
Cerrejón has a threatened species program, which constantly monitors the animals that inhabit the biological corridor and whose main objective is to increase the populations of endangered species.
We are proud that the land we operate on is a home to more than 370 species of animals. Our operation coexists with the ecosystems that surround it, and this is recorded by our camera trap monitoring system
