Specific algorithms process the GPS data on position, altitude, speed and temperature and consider all zonation as poisoning-prone areas (based on land use for grazing and previous events) to determine if alert is necessary.  

Algorithms need to rule out vulture descending onto a cliff or nest, and to include only descent onto areas where carcass likelihood is highest (based on ground inclination).

Algorithm calculates slope of the land at point of descent and adds this to the poisoning likelihood determination.

• Integration of data on position, altitude, speed, and temperature from Orintela transmitters with the INPA information system 

In order to receive GPS data there have to be a requisite numner of birds with approriate tags that transmit real-time data.

In Panama, farms are culturally extensive and without good livestock practices. The management plans that Yaguará Panama seeks to support producers in having a better sustainable use of the land, under intensive management so that the paddocks are small (with more small keepers they walk less and feed better, without spending a lot of energy) and the animals are healthy and in better condition. In the case of cows with calves, a corral is prepared to reduce predation, since we know that the most vulnerable animals are the cows with calves.

Anti-predation measures include: electric fences powered by a solar panel, collars with bells for the cows as an auditory and luminous repellent because they have lights that are activated at night.

The plans have a map of current and future use so that the producer can appreciate the changes and is taught to keep track of what is happening on the farm, only in this way will he be able to see how the changes are occurring and at what point he begins to have a real gain in livestock production.

An important change is that now the paddocks have water for the animals to drink; usually they do not and when the cows go to the river they get stuck or are preyed upon by jaguars.

The first thing we did was to talk to two teachers who own a cattle ranch in Agua Buena de Chucunaque, they are leaders. They told us the history of the site, so that we could understand the dynamics of the area and see if what is happening there has the same pattern as in other places with conflict. Then they supported us in making the call. It is easier to attract people through someone the community respects. On the 14 kilometers of road we always take the windows of the car down and greet people and if they need a ride to the entrance or to the farm we do it, because this creates bonds and trust, because it allows us to talk more with them. The teachers and we went house to house to tell the people at the meeting about the jaguars and other activities. The talk is presented, we give a space for each one of them to express themselves about how they perceive the jaguar and what has been happening in the area, and how they think they could minimize the conflict. After the community has expressed itself, we explain to them what we can do together, then we carry out the training and create stronger links and trust with the communities. Trust is the key to making the project work and it is a step-by-step process.

Geoversity is conceived as an ecosystem of individuals and organizations collaborating in the creation of biocultural leadership.

The ecosystem is nurtured by real places and conservation communities starting with the Mamoni Valley Reserve.

With the solution we highlight the importance of alliances and collaborations to achieve long-term success in forest conservation and preservation. Dialogue, community participation and the participation of the different actors play a very important role in the realization of the objectives and results.

We carry out and participate in local and international activities with the objective of finding potential candidates to become part of the ecosystem. Once they are part of the ecosystem, responsibilities and commitments are established, which generally turn into program funding, recommendations or probono professional services.

WCS Argentina sponsors the international Wildlife Friendly certification for producers who, working together with WCS, adopt sustainable and wildlife-friendly livestock management methodologies. The certification improves the marketing conditions of the products (wool and mohair), opening new markets that look for this type of materials developed in harmony with the environment, and improving sales prices. This gives the products an important added value, which has its origin in a change of paradigm for the development of a sustainable and wildlife-friendly livestock production.

This management has two components:

• The Leadership component: aimed at young emerging leaders with a desire to be active agents in the creation of sustainable communities.
• The research component: aimed at scientists and students who wish to use the Mamoní Valley Reserve as a living laboratory for their scientific research.
• The leadership component works with calls for young people to participate in the different programs that we develop both in the reserve and in urban forests, and the research component works with collaboration agreements with universities and scientific institutions.

PPGs avoid predator attacks without causing any damage to wildlife, since wild carnivores avoid approaching areas where they perceive the presence of these dogs. PPGs are not separated from their social group, the livestock, at any time of the day and thus provide permanent protection. When attacks on livestock cease, producers do not need to take measures against wild carnivores, which can often be disproportionate and cause enormous problems for wildlife populations.

This solution combines several actions:

• Preservation and conservation in an integral manner the biota and other natural attributes existing in the Mamoní Valley Reserve, without direct human interference or environmental modifications.
• Recovery of altered ecosystems and the necessary management actions to recover and preserve the natural balance, biological diversity and ecological processes.
• Protection and monitoring of the area using SMART equipment, GPS and drones with the help of strategic allies.
• Collective work is a fundamental principle in this solution since we depend on all the actors to achieve the objectives. Due to this support work we have been able to map the forest cover of the reserve and detect deforestation.
