The jaguar is not listed as endangered. It is listed as near vulnerable by the IUCN, but loss of habitat could become a problem if left unchecked.

There are several reasons that jaguars are endangered. They are climate change, deforestation, poaching, and declining food sources. They are poached for their fur.
