Implication

Randomized trial critiques the ‘reactive removal’ model, promoting coexistence protocols for large carnivores, indicating the need for better administrative practices.

Key Points

To critique the 'Reactive Removal' model for large carnivores and promote a 'Proactive Coexistence' framework based on ecological principles.
Analyzed a case of jaguar translocation in Colombia
Critiqued current practices in large carnivore management
Proposed standardized, science-based decision protocols for coexistence
Translocating an Andean jaguar to a distinct ecosystem led to ecological mismatch and risk of local adaptations loss.
Highlighting the disconnect between scientific recommendations and administrative actions in conservation.
Emphasizing the need for proactive strategies over reactive removals to ensure biodiversity and ecosystem health.
