The information such as survival, longevity, or recruitment is relatively unknown for most jaguar populations. Herein, we present results from an assessment performed from March through May 2023 in a region where jaguars were assessed during the 2010–2016 period. Jaguars persisted, and a female registered during 2014 survived for nine years with a free-living longevity estimated at 11–12 years. This evidence indicates the region as important for habitat restoration and the establishment of a jaguar sanctuary in Michoacan.
