I'm brazilian. If the USA wants to get jaguars to return to their territory and preserve them there, it might be interesting to talk to Leandro Silveira, a great Brazilian expert on jaguars. Perhaps his work at the "Instituto Onça Pintada" (Jaguar Conservation Fund) can inspire people in the USA to do something similar, adapted to their reality. He and his wife Ana have many years of experience with jaguars, especially those in the "cerrado" biome region (which is more like a savannah than a forest). Note: in Brazil, jaguars from the Pantanal biome are the largest, those from the Amazon region are smaller than those from the Pantanal and there are also jaguars from the "cerrado" biome.
Having a population with a good number of these animals again may create situations similar to what occurs in Brazil: the conflict between jaguars and rural producers, especially cattle breeders, so it's better to be prepared to resolve this issue with the farmers, otherwise the farmers will eliminate the jaguars.
Watch the video titled "SIM, A ONÇA-PINTADA ATACA O SER HUMANO! | RICHARD RASMUSSEN" where Leandro Silveira explains to Brazilian biologist Richard Rasmussen that large rural properties are better for jaguar conservation than small properties (activate automatic translation). But this is in Brazil, where because of the "Legal Reserve" law. The "Legal Reserve" is a percentage of the area covered by native vegetation, located within a rural property in Brazil. The Legal Reserve is mandatory by law. In the Amazon Jungle the percentage is 80%, that is, whoever buys an area in this region will only be able to deforest 20% of it and keep 80% untouchable. In the rest of the country the percentage is 20%. These "Legal Reserves" on each farm create mini refuges for wildlife and jaguars can go from one to another until they find an ideal region for them.
Leandro is aware that it's impossible to eliminate large farms, so Leandro's work is essential to resolve conflicts between rural producers and jaguars. Leandro's work with the cooperation of these large farmers shows that it's possible to preserve jaguars without having to harm agribusiness.
Also watch the video titled "UMA ONÇA-PINTADA SELVAGEM INVADIU O INSTITUTO! | RICHARD RASMUSSEN" from 8:20m, where Leandro explains a lot of interesting things about jaguars.
There are 02 Brazilian channels on YouTube that are linked to the “Instituto Onça Pintada”, which are: “Família Animal” and “Tiago Jácomo”. This institute usually receives many little orphans taken by our Environmental Police or they go looking for them when local farmers and residents call them. Many of these orphans arrive at the institute traumatized and in poor health, recover with good treatment and live happily in the sanctuary.
The video titled "Jaguar: o destino de uma espécie em extinção – HD Animal Documentary" shows how Leandro Silveira and his team work.
I live between the Hauchucas and Sant Ritas. They are here. So this area is, ipso facto, core jaguar habitat.

I'm from Arizona and never heard any kind of discussion as to whether it was native range or not. It was always considered as a fact.
Could twenty or thirty be introduced to the Whitehouse and at least half a dozen tp Mar a Lago.
How bout nooooooo! How is this even a question?
