๐ฟDeep in the jungles of southern Mexico, archaeologists just found a city no
one had seen in over a thousand years. They named it Minanbรฉ โ Maya for
"there is no path." To reach it, they cut five kilometers through forest so dense it had hidden an entire city, with temples, plazas, and carved monuments, completely intact. No looting. Untouched. ๐
But here's what moves me. That same forest โ Calakmul โ is the last great
stronghold of the jaguar in Mexico. Around five hundred of them still walk there, through the second-largest rainforest in the Americas. ๐
๐พ Five of Mexico's six wild cat species still hunt these ruins. The Maya worshipped the jaguar as a god โ a spirit that walked between worlds. Their kings are dust now. Their cities fell silent. But the jaguar? The
jaguar endured. In a way, the wild cats have carried the Maya forward in their spirits. ๐
๐ณ The forest that protected this city for a thousand years is being cleared right
now. So protect the habitat, and you protect them both โ the ancient and
the living.
That's why the Big Cat Public Safety Act matters, and why every nation should pass one like it. ๐
I'm Carole Baskin. Let's keep the wild cat wild. ๐พ
