In this photo released by the New York-based conservation group Panthera, the flat grass shrub savannas interrupted by creeks, bush islands, rocky hills and stand-alone mountains of GuyanaÌs South Rupununi landscape, is photographed from Dadanawa Ranch in 2012. The lushly forested nation of Guyana on Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013 joined a regional pact to protect jaguars, the elusive spotted cat that is the biggest land predator in the Americas but is vulnerable due to expanded agriculture and mining that carves away at their fragmented habitat.
