In setting up protected reserves, efforts generally also have to be focused on the surrounding areas, as jaguars are unlikely to confine themselves to the bounds of a reservation, especially if the population is increasing in size. Human attitudes in the areas surrounding reserves and laws and regulations to prevent poaching are essential to make conservation areas effective.<ref name=gutierrez>{{cite journal |last1=Gutierrez-Gonzalez |first1=C.E. |last2=Gomez-Ramirez |first2=M.A. |last3=Lopez-Gonzalez |first3=C.A. |last4=Doherty |first4=P.F. |year=2015 |name-list-style=amp |title=Are Private Reserves Effective for Jaguar Conservation? |journal=PLOS ONE |volume=10 |issue=9 |page=e0137541 |bibcode=2015PLoSO..1037541G |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0137541 |pmc=4580466 |pmid=26398115 |doi-access=free}}</ref>

To estimate population sizes within specific areas and to keep track of individual jaguars, [[camera trap]]ping and [[Telemetry#Fishery and wildlife research and management|wildlife tracking telemetry]] are widely used, and feces are sought out with the help of [[detection dog]]s to study jaguar health and diet.<ref name=soisalo>{{cite journal |last1=Soisalo |first1=M.K. |last2=Cavalcanti |first2=S.M.C. |year=2006 |name-list-style=amp |title=Estimating the density of a Jaguar population in the Brazilian Pantanal using camera-traps and capture-recapture sampling in combination with GPS radio-telemetry |journal=Biological Conservation |volume=129 |issue=4 |pages=487–496 |doi=10.1016/j.biocon.2005.11.023 |bibcode=2006BCons.129..487S |url=http://www.ekonoiz.com/Eco_Projects/Jaguar_Conservation/estimatingthedensityofjaguarsinthepantanal.pdf |access-date=29 November 2021 |archive-date=13 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220113193618/http://www.ekonoiz.com/Eco_Projects/Jaguar_Conservation/estimatingthedensityofjaguarsinthepantanal.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=furtado>{{cite journal |last1=Furtado |first1=M.M. |last2=Carrillo-Percastegui |first2=S.E. |last3=Jácomo |first3=A.T.A. |last4=Powell |first4=G. |last5=Silveira |first5=L. |last6=Vynne |first6=C. |last7=Sollmann |first7=R. |year=2008 |name-list-style=amp |title=Studying jaguars in the wild: past experiences and future perspectives |journal=Cat News |issue=Special Issue 4 |pages=41–47 |url=http://www.catsg.org/fileadmin/filesharing/5.Cat_News/5.3._Special_Issues/5.3.4._SI_4/Furtado_et_al_2008_Jaguar_field_methods_s.pdf |access-date=2 February 2019 |archive-date=2 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190202212055/http://www.catsg.org/fileadmin/filesharing/5.Cat_News/5.3._Special_Issues/5.3.4._SI_4/Furtado_et_al_2008_Jaguar_field_methods_s.pdf |url-status=live}}</ref>

Current conservation efforts often focus on educating ranch owners and promoting [[ecotourism]].<ref name=WWF>{{cite web |author=Estévez, E. |date=2009 |title=Jaguar Refuge in the Llanos Ecoregion |publisher=[[World Wildlife Fund]] |url=http://wwf.panda.org/es/nuestro_trabajo/latinoamerica/venezuela/index.cfm?uProjectID=VE0854 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141217001905/http://wwf.panda.org/es/nuestro_trabajo/latinoamerica/venezuela/index.cfm?uProjectID=VE0854 |access-date= 1 September 2006 |archive-date=17 December 2014}}</ref> Ecotourism setups are being used to generate public interest in charismatic animals such as the jaguar while at the same time generating revenue that can be used in conservation efforts. A key concern in jaguar ecotourism is the considerable habitat space the species requires. If ecotourism is used to aid in jaguar conservation, some considerations need to be made as to how existing ecosystems will be kept intact, or how new ecosystems will be put into place that are large enough to support a growing jaguar population.<ref name=mossaz>{{cite journal |last1=Mossaz |first1=A. |last2=Buckley |first2=R.C. |last3=Castley |first3=J.G. |year=2015 |name-list-style=amp |title=Ecotourism contributions to conservation of African big cats |journal=Journal for Nature Conservation |volume=28 |pages=112–118 |doi=10.1016/j.jnc.2015.09.009 |bibcode=2015JNatC..28..112M |hdl=10072/125191 |hdl-access=free}}</ref>

Conservationists and professionals in Mexico and the United States have established the {{cvt|56,000|acre}} [[Northern Jaguar Reserve]] in northern Mexico. Advocacy for reintroduction of the jaguar to its former range in Arizona and New Mexico have been supported by documentation of natural migrations by individual jaguars into the southern reaches of both states, the recency of extirpation from those regions by human action, and supportive arguments pertaining to biodiversity, ecological, human, and practical considerations.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sanderson |first1=E.
