An impressive image of **Tañhi Wuk**, one of the [jaguars from Chaco](https://noticiasambientales.com/animales/el-parque-ibera-cuenta-con-un-nuevo-yaguarete-takajay-nacido-en-el-impenetrable-chaqueno/), was recently captured by the cameras of **El Impenetrable National Park**.

This event marks a new chapter in the **conservation efforts** of this endangered feline in Argentina.

## Jaguars from Chaco: the new image
Tañhi Wuk, a young male who had been previously recorded by National Parks’ trap cameras in the [Formosa Natural Reserve](https://noticiasambientales.com/ciencia/descubren-un-nuevo-yaguarete-en-formosa/), traveled about **100 kilometers** to where it was captured now.

He did so through the **Bermejo-Bermejito interfluve** to reach the heart of the National Park.

There, where two other **males and three reintroduced females** already live, he was captured at the time, safely, and equipped with a **GPS tracking collar for monitoring**.

During his journey, Tañhi Wuk managed to avoid one of the greatest dangers facing his species: **illegal hunting**. The **Yaguareté Network** posted it on their social media. It is estimated that he could have come from **Salta Chaco or even from Paraguay**.

Now, his presence strengthens the incipient population nucleus that could bring vitality back to the jaguars in this **emblematic region of the Argentine Gran Chaco**.

“This achievement is also the result of the **constant monitoring work** that many people and organizations have supported since before the creation of the El Impenetrable National Park, and that **continues more alive than ever**,” concludes the post.

## Reintroduction of the jaguar: Takajay now lives in Iberá
As part of the conservation efforts of the species, since January **Takajay lives in Iberá, Corrientes**.

This is a specimen born within a rewilding project in [El Impenetrable National Park](https://noticiasambientales.com/turismo/el-parque-nacional-el-impenetrable-se-posiciona-como-el-destino-para-el-ecoturismo-en-argentina/). The goal is to increase the number of **reintroduced individuals and contribute genetic variability**.

The province of **Corrientes**, where **the jaguar was completely extinct for several decades**, is now home to a **reintroduced population** that is growing favorably and already has at least **35 jaguars living in the wild**.

This ecological restoration project, also known as **rewilding**, is the first in the world to bring back the jaguar to a place where it was extinct.

After a new bold conservation action, a new male, Takajay, passed through the gates of the large enclosures of the **Jaguar Reintroduction Center** with a double mission: to continue increasing the **reintroduced population** and contribute genetic variability.
