He is drawn from border badlands south to Panamas rain forest along a route where the fate of nearly all wildlife now rests in human hands. Mahlers odyssey introduces him to unrepentant poachers, pragmatic ranchers, midnight drug-runners, ardent conservationists, trance-induced shamans, hopeful biologists, stodgy bureaucrats, academic philosophers, macho hunters, and gentle Maya Indians. Along the way, he is forced to reconsider the true meaning of his search-and the enduring symbolism of the jaguar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew | Mint Condition | Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon | Guaranteed packaging | No quibbles returns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736011866400,"sku":"NEW030012225X","price":86.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61k4MIn9uEL.jpg?v=1779502547","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/managing-contact-for-young-people-030012225x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
