摘要: A fter an initial survey throughout the country, I selected a site in southern Belize for jaguar study. With intact access roads, few abandoned shacks from small timber operation that was winding down, and Mayan community nearby, this wild, relatively pristine forest called Cockscomb Basin surrounded by mountains stretching westward into Guatemala seemed ideal research base. returned to New York talk with Schaller, get funding, order necessary equipment Once done, drove Ford pickup truck I’d purchased some of my newly approved project money.
