Kodkod: Smallest Cat in the Americas
Provides an in-depth look at the kodkod, or guiña, the smallest wild cat in the Americas, known for its secretive behavior and vulnerable conservation status. With a wild population estimated at around 10,000 individuals and low genetic diversity, the species faces growing threats from habitat loss and human conflict. The kodkod consists of two subspecies, inhabiting environments that range from Chile’s dry matorral regions to the lush Valdivian rainforests of Chiloé Island. Conservation organizations, such as the Guiña Working Group, are working to protect the species through the use of camera traps, ecological studies, and community-based initiatives that promote education and coexistence, while addressing dangers such as deforestation and accidental trapping.
