Are jaguars on endangered species list?

Yes, the Jaguar is considered endangered. The Jaguar is listed on the IUCN Red List as "near threatened" with the population "decreasing". While the Jaguar is also listed, as "endangered" by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, Endangered Species List. It is also listed with CITES and protected under their Appendix I, which means they can't be traded commercially. For more details, please see sites listed below. Another view: The jaguar is an endangered species in the U.S., but this species has never been common in the northern part of it's range. The jaguar population does seem to be decreasing in areas where it is still fairly common. The species as a whole is considered near threatened, and more must be done to keep the jaguar from having it's status downgraded to endangered throughout it's range.
