Many congratulations to CLP alumna @leticia.benavalli on her prestigious Marsh Award 🎉

Every year, the Marsh Charitable Trust selects inspirational individuals for its Marsh Awards to celebrate the work being done to preserve and protect the planet`s biodiversity.

CLP nominated Letícia for the Marsh Award for Early Career Conservation through our partner @faunafloraint to recognise the remarkable steps she`s taken to conserve jaguar and other large mammals in the Cerrado (a vast ecoregion of tropical savanna in central Brazil) - despite still being relatively early in her career.

The Cerrado provides crucial habitat for jaguar and other large mammals such as lowland tapir, puma and giant anteaters, which are threatened by climate change, habitat loss and conflict with local people in the region.

As part of a 2023 CLP project, Letícia and her team have been conducting camera trap surveys in both Pirineus State Park and Brasilia National Park in the state of Goiás, central Brazil.

These surveys have revealed information critical to large mammal conservation here:

🐆 The first documented evidence of jaguar breeding in Pirineus State Park
🐆 Jaguar entering unprotected areas around Pirineus State Park, showing how important it is to work with private landowners and other stakeholders to reduce human-jaguar conflict
🐆 An abundance of typical prey for jaguar, as well as evidence that giant anteaters and pumas are successfully breeding in Pirineus State Park
🐆 Unexpected footage of multiple jaguars in Brasilia National Park, revealing an urban jaguar population resurgence in the region

Letícia`s NGO @pro.onca is not just dedicated to large carnivore conservation, but also to women’s empowerment in science and climate change mitigation across Latin America.

The Marsh Award Selection Panel commented: "Letícia has made great strides in allowing for both the protection of wildlife and a peaceful coexistence between predators and local farmers."

Please join us in congratulating Letícia and the other winners of the 2024 @marshawards, Ercilio Chauque and Dominggus Sami Kalami!
