New documentary: Xamã’s fight for survival
News
We are excited to share a new documentary that takes you behind the scenes of Xamã’s incredible journey – from a tiny, vulnerable cub to a symbol of hope for jaguar conservation.
"Xamã: A Jaguar's Fight for Survival After the Amazon Fires," captures every stage of Xamã’s journey – from his rescue after the devastating wildfires in Brazil back in 2022, to his rehabilitation and ultimately, his return to the wild in October of 2024.
Watch his powerful story! 👀
Xamã’s release represents much more than just a success story. It’s a crucial step toward raising awareness about the destruction caused by factory farming and the urgent need for conservation efforts.
This documentary takes you on Xamã’s journey, offering a deeper understanding of the larger fight to protect the natural habitats that are home to endangered species.
None of this would have been possible without the support of compassionate people like you. Your contributions helped fund his rehabilitation and return to the wild, and this documentary showcases how your support is making a real impact on wildlife conservation.
Thank you for being part of Xamã’s journey and supporting wildlife conservation!
