Jaguar Research Center was closed and dismantled by authorities in november 2009, for operating without license inside a State Park. In 2010 they were working in the same location from a houseboat, in 2011 the camp has been rebuilt, apparently on the opposite riverbank in Mato Grosso do Sul State and runs under the name SouthWild Jaguar Camp.
Here is a collection of material regarding the Jaguar Research Center, alias SouthWild Jaguar Camp and his owner Charles Alexander Munn III:

We did a birdwatching trip last year along the Transpantaneira, and while we were not there for Jaguar watching, a lot of the people at the lodge were. I don´t know what agency they booked with, perhaps several different ones; but our guide explained that the agency that organized our trip for us www.pantanalexpeditions.com was very firm about reporting these kinds of abuses and even moved the location where they were offering Jaguar Tracking Tours because they didn´t want to risk their reputation by offering tours in an area where Jaguars were being baited.
I'm sick and disgusted at all this mountain of dribble and irresponsible garbage being thrown at one of the most noble and caring end remarkable conservationists of our time. Charlie's work in Peru was simply astonishing and everyone who drives the Kosñipata valley on his way to Manu and still sees pristine forest standing must know that it was Charlie's unrelenting effort which prevented its degradation. It was Fujimori's corrupted regime that chased Charlie and submitted him to a hellish persecution, now these criminals are all in jail. It is no wonder that Brazil's warped bureaucrats and short-sighted 'scientists' are going after him again. But make no mistake: Charlie has lost millions of his own pocket all along these years to produce solid conservation through ecotourism, reading charges of 'greed' against him is simply idiotic.
