Who Are We?
The Black Jaguar-White Tiger™ Foundation was inspired by a single unexpected act of Love, and a whole lot of trust and magic.
Eduardo Serio, a Mexican born businessman who was residing in Los Angeles, went on a business trip to Monterrey, Mexico, in October of 2013. Unbeknownst to Eduardo, this trip would be a one-way ticket that would change the course of his life forever…
While in Monterrey, he received a call from his cousin, an Animal expert with over 25 years of experience, sharing his frustration that a pet store was selling a baby Black Jaguar with the purpose of drugging it and having it pose for photographs as a source of income.
Eduardo, who always believed in equality and proper treatment of all beings, jumped at this opportunity and rescued Cielo from a life of captivity leaving his whole life in L.A. behind. That single event of Love gave birth to what today is The Black Jaguar-White Tiger™ Foundation.
Currently, with the help of devoted friends and millions of loyal followers around the world, the Foundation has rescued and cares for over 210 (And counting) Big Felines including Jaguars, Tigers, Leopards, Lynxes, Lions, Pumas and more from a life of abuse in circuses, zoos and breeders, both legal and illegal ones. The Foundation has also rescued more than 20 Dogs mostly from the street.
The foundation has a project currently going on together with the Mexican Government SEMARNAT & PROFEPA (see below) to reproduce, reintroduce and repopulate endangered species of birds, endemic to Mexico, into their natural habitat . We have not formally announced it yet but the program is incredible and already giving promising results. More on this later…
