Status of the jaguar—1987
Open accessAbstract
The decline of the jaguar in the 1970s reflected the large trade in their skins. Since 1973, when the species was listed on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade In Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the threat from the commercial skin trade has abated. However, habitat destruction and opportunistic killing continue. If the jaguar is to persist into the future, local people must be convinced that conserving jaguars has long-term benefits for them.

Steel leg hold traps have been used extensively to hunt furbearers such as ocelots and jaguars.
“Steel leg hold traps have been used extensively to hunt furbearers such as ocelots and jaguars (Swank and Teer 1989).”

The 'Causes of population decline' section says trapping jaguars was common in ranching country and that traps were supplied for the jaguar-pelt trade. It does not identify those traps as steel leg-hold traps or say they were used to hunt ocelots. It also says commercial trapping of jaguars had declined dramatically since the 1970s. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
