In addition, he helped to conceptualise and implement Panthera's Jaguar Corridor Initiative, a transnational protected areas corridor for jaguars across their entire range, from Mexico to Argentina.ĭr Rabinowtz's reputation for exploring and helping to preserve some of the wildest places on our planet led him to be dubbed the "Indiana Jones of Wildlife Conservation" by TIME Magazine.
He was also instrumental in establishing seven significant protected areas, including the first marine national park in Myanmar, the first and largest Himalayan national park, and the world’s largest tiger reserve in the Hukaung Valley. He travelled the world working on conservation projects, with his work in Belize resulting in the world’s first jaguar sanctuary: The Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. A regular visitor as a boy to the Bronx Zoo, his promise to a resident jaguar there to become a voice for big cats became the foundation for a remarkable career. His extraordinary story started in childhood, where difficulties he faced communicating with the human world led him to seek out the company of animals who became his confidants.
Dr Alan Rabinowitz was one of the world’s leading big cat experts.
