Scientist Alan Rabinowitz is president of an organization devoted to saving wild cats.One day，while studying a map of all the known areas jaguars live in，Rabinowitz decided to play a game of connecting the dots.He drew a line between one area and another area.Suddenly he was struck by an idea that could help save this threatened species.

　　Rabinowitz realized that protecting the pathways is just as important as protecting the habitats themselves.He began an international project called “Path of the Jaguar” to check these pathways and make sure they won’t become dead ends.“A jaguar，unlike a human，is not stopped by many things，” Rabinowitz says.“It’s not stopped by a river or even a mountain covered in snow.” But things such as factories，highways and dams will halt a jaguar in its tracks，forcing it off course.

　　Rabinowitz’s project works to persuade countries to limit industrial development that would block jaguars’ pathways.These protected areas are not always connected.But these cats are smart—they run across open land in the dark.If they find a jungle with something to eat，they’ll stop to rest，just as you might pull over at a restaurant during a family road trip.
