Eduardo Serio

Mexican born, he was a business man residing in Los Angeles until October 2013, when he went on a business trip to Monterrey, Mexico. In Monterrey he received a call from his cousin, a vet and animal expert, complaining about a pet store that was going to sell a black jaguar cub(cielo, the first rescued feline and the trigger for his work), with the purpose of using it for profit photographs. He rescued the cub from that life, leaving his actual life and job at LA deciding to become and ambassador for big cats, so he founded The Black Jaguar-White Tiger foundation.

Philosophy

They base their work on the idea of "the more animals living together in one group, the happier they are, regardless of the species.". although they currently live in captivity at the sanctuary they do not breed them, the  finality is to re-introduce them in their natural habitat. The foundation says that if a lion and a cougar can love each other, the humans can also, the expectation is to show people they can get along despite their differences. Eduardo educates felines through love rather than punishment, even to adult felines. For him, love is the only way to properly educate, and this way of thinking has given excellent results as you can see on the social network of the foundation.

Spread the message

The foundation is the only sanctuary in Mexico specialized in big felines, so in july 2015, when the law to forbade the performance of big animals at any show were approved, the foundation get to rescue 73 felines, with this they had rescued 210 felines. The foundation not only work at saving big cats, they also make campaign at their social media accounts to help other organization to protect species at danger of extinction. Eduardo is a man with a big heart for the life, at his house, he also host street dogs, giving the a place to live, the dogs pass their stay with the feline cubs that live at eduardos house too, just until they are wrong ups, when they get bigger, they passed to the sanctuary at the Ajusco, to be whit they´ra other wrong up relatives. The Foundation worked with some Mexican guvernamentales dependencies, giving home to animals confiscated by them, the only purpose of Eduardo´s work, is to regain the lost habitat of the felines at Africa and Asia, also he hopes to help increase the number of these species. Even already existing other reserves for cats in the world for many years before BJWT, Eduardo was able to make real use of the internet for their work gained popularity and attract attention,It is why in such a short time , the foundation has grown without brakes. Social networks have been an important tool to help spread the message of the foundation, because she has attracted the attention not only of society and Govier , ven famous people like Paris Hilton, Kellan Lutz, Kendall Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Ludwika Paleta and many reporters around the world, whose image has helped grow the work, spreading the message that wild animals are not pets ad they have to be in good care. to diffusion everywhere possible, Eduardo has lectured at universities and fundraising events about the work done in its foundation, and also to raise funds for the foundation to remains in development

Eduardo works with 3 stages for the animals: 1- maternal, when the animals are just cubs, and receive constant care. 2- 15 hectares for the animals to develop their instincts(at the Ajusco sanctuary). 3- 1300 hectares in quintana roo.

The purpose for which wants to get Eduardo is not putting the animals in their natural habitat, as many arrive without tusks or without developed instincts , besides the fact that many of these natural habitats are unsafe for creatures. All creatures that are in the care of the foundation were born in captivity, none was deprived of nature , so adaptation to the environment could leave impossible. The final idea is to place animals in a semi habitat where they can live a long life without risk to extinction.
