In this emotional report on Piauí magazine's website, Wendel, a field guide from Caiman, describes details of his career and tells us how he fell in love with jaguar conservation after years of hunting the species. He grew up alongside cowboys in a farm in the southern part of the region – at that time, the animal was seen as a threat to livestock among farmers – but today he captivates the refuge's guests with all his knowledge and local culture wisdom.
