Fashion Cia Marítima - JAGUAR

LIFE PRINT

FOR THE FIRST TIME, JAGUARS HAVE INSPIRED A FASHION COLLECTION AND RECEIVE THEIR ROYALTIES DUE.

WITH THE INITIATIVE FROM AMPARA, “LIFE PRINT” IS THE FIRST CERTIFIED ANIMAL PRINT IN THE WORLD WHICH HAS DONATED 100% OF PROFITS TO THE PRESERVATION OF THE SPECIES. CIA. MARÍTIMA IS THE FIRST TO EMBRACE THIS PROJECT.

For hundreds of years, animal beauty has inspired fashion. Unfortunately for the jaguar, they may be present on the runways but endangered in the wild. The species is one step away from extinction. In response, AMPARA Animal has developed an exclusive Jaguar Print. Life Print is the first animal print certified in the world, and 100% of the profits go to the preservation of jaguars. Photographs of real jaguar fur, supported and sheltered by the NGO, have inspired the design. This pioneering act aims to mobilize society against the extinction of the jaguar. The first brand to utilize the certified print is Cia. Marítima, which has just now launched its second Life Print Collection. It is available in all Brazilian stores, our chains in the U.S, Portugal, and online. All profits will go to the NGO AMPARA Animal.

The new Life Print pieces bring vivid orange details to bikinis, kaftans, bodysuits, dresses, and skirts. They offer a super versatile combination that allows the Cia. Marítima clients to create their looks to enjoy their favorite print on and off the sands.

THE PROJECT ALSO INVITES BRANDS, STYLISTS, AND CREATORS TO GET IN TOUCH AT WWW.LIFEPRINT.ORG.BR.

‘’IN ACCORDANCE WITH SPECIALISTS, WE ARE THE LAST GENERATION CAPABLE TO REVERSE THE CURVE OF THE EXTINCTION OF OUR NATURAL WORLD.”

Benny Rosset, CEO of Cia. Marítima

“THE REVENUE OF THE LIFE PRINT COLLECTION HAS HUGE IMPORTANCE, NOT ONLY IN REGARDS OF THE STRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SPACE FOR ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY BUT ALSO TO ALLOW FUTURE INVESTMENT IN THE CONSERVATION OF ALL SPECIES IN DANGER, THAT CARRIES A FUNDAMENTAL ROLE IN OUR ECOSYSTEM.’’

ABOUT AMPARA ANIMAL

AMPARA Animal was born in 2010 when their love and respect for animals united founders, Juliana Camargo, and Marcele Becker. Together, they dreamed about helping and saving thousands of abandoned and rejected animals in Brazil. In 2013, AMPARA Animal received accreditation from OSCIP, Civil Society Organization for Public Interest. In 2015 it became the institution that helped more animals than any other in the country. They provided shelters nationally, aided with food, medication, vaccines, veterinary service, hosting adopting events, and awareness-raising projects. AMPARA Animal operates from three main pillars: adoption, castration, and above all, awareness through educational projects aimed at both children and adults. AMPARA Animal has helped over a million animals since their founding.

Green Planet The Jaguar

THE JAGUAR

THE LARGEST CAT IN THE AMERICAS ROARING TO SURVIVE

WRITTEN BY KENZA HENOUDA

A BEAUTIFUL AND MAJESTIC BIG CAT IN THE PANTHERA GENUS. IT IS THE THIRD-LARGEST OF THE BIG CATS, TIGERS AND LION. DESPITE THE ABUNDANCE OF JAGUARS IN THE PAST, THEY ARE NOW ONE OF THE 627 ENDANGERED SPECIES IN THE WORLD.

Human activities have been the greatest threat to jaguars for decades, causing it to drastically reduce their original habitat across every country and continent. Increasing man-made environmental changes, as well as deforestation, hunting of wild prey, and the jaguars themselves, are the leading causes of the decline of the species population in Brazil. Latin America leads in terms of land protection, with the highest percentage of government secured areas in contrast to any other region in the world. However, it is not enough to remove the significant threat posed towards the jaguars. Not only have deforestation affected the jaguars, but so have the illegal trade of body parts and fur. These threats have created tremendous pressure on the species, whose overall population and range continue to decrease.

Brazil has 516 million hectares of forests, equivalent to 60.7% of the country. Through positive practices, the country has become a significant contributor to environmental preservation, with more than 66% of its territory covered by native vegetation, including the Pantanal, Pampa, Cerrados, and Caatinga. Stretching from Brazil and parts of Paraguay and Bolivia, the Pantanal (the world’s largest tropical wetland area) attracts the largest concentration of wildlife in the continent because of its waterways. The loss of this habitat to agriculture and cattle-raising led animals to flee to nearby farms, resulting in massive farm destructions.

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP), World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Panthera, and representatives of various governments, announced the creation of the first International Jaguar Day. It is expected to be held annually on November 29. The goal is to bring attention to the actions threatening this species. The Statement recognizes that investing in the conservation of jaguars, and their habitats can improve broader efforts to manage natural resources, strengthen community livelihoods, and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

According to Howard Quigley (the executive director of the Panthera organization), the “2030 Roadmap brings jaguar conservation to life, bringing real vision and solutions to the world to protect this iconic and ecologically essential species. This will create excellent economic opportunities and a sustainable future for all.”

The progress in this emergency issue demonstrates that it can be prevented, and in some cases, even reversed as populations recover. Maintaining and accelerating this initial success will require a comprehensive regional approach by every single one of us.
