What is
Jaguar
Parade?

Jaguar Parade is an open-air art exhibition of decorated jaguar statues. It is an art installation with a purpose: to raise funds and awareness about the urgent need to conserve jaguars and their habitats.

Placing the jaguar statues in key public places brings the environmental cause to the forefront of the public’s attention, reaching millions of people in a very unique way.

By the end of the exhibition period, the statues are auctioned and 100% of net proceeds will be donated to jaguar conservation efforts.

The Cause

Jaguars exist in 18 countries in Latin America, from Mexico to Argentina. Despite this broad range, jaguars have been eradicated in nearly half of their historic range.

The species is threatened by loss and fragmentation of jaguar habitats, conflict with people due to the real or perceived threat posed to livestock, and overhunting of the jaguar’s prey.

Conserving the jaguar means conserving tropical forests, wetlands, and other environments that are crucial to the wellbeing of humans and countless other species.

Our first Edition

Jaguar Parade’s first edition took place in São Paulo from October to November 2019. With 87 statues, it is the biggest open-air art exhibition in the history of São Paulo.

Approximately 10 million people saw the jaguars in the streets and parks of São Paulo and 100 million people were reached by the media coverage.

Power
Beauty
Freedom
Resilience

What could be more quintessentially New York? Saving the jaguar requires a coordinated, multinational response, embodied by ongoing efforts at the United Nations to permanently protect its most crucial habitats by 2030.

It's time to act

Protecting jaguars means protecting the landscapes they depend upon and the endless diversity of life within these ecosystems, which underpins human health and the sustainable development of the jaguar range countries.

As the impacts of the current crisis profoundly re-shape our lives and lead us to rethink our relationship with nature, it is high time that we give jaguars a voice and let them roar in the heart of the concrete jungle!
