Biologists Rony Garcia and Jose Moreira from the Wildlife Conservation Society’s (WCS) Jaguar Conservation Program say they use hidden cameras as a primary source for observing and tracking jaguars in the Guatemala’s Maya Biosphere Reserve.

L’un de ces fonctionnaires, M. Rafael García, a reconnu que nombre d’opérations de « guerre sale » menées par le DAS ont été financées grâce à l’argent du trafic de cocaïne.
