QUOTES FROM THE BOOK
The following are quotes from the book “Jaguar, One Man’s Struggle to Establish the World’s First
Jaguar Preserve, Alan Rabinowitz, (Island Press, Copyright 2000) regarding Mr. Hassan:
“I wish to acknowledge Bader
Hassan, whose interest,
knowledge, and skill helped make
this project a success and whose
friendship and camaraderie I will
always remember.”(Page 370)
“His Knowledge of
jaguars helped me
tremendously, and
he said he would
help again if I
returned.  I knew
that if anyone could
catch a jaguar for
me, it would be
him.”  (Page 47);
Bader drinking from jungle vine
“Bader’s
knowledge of
jaguars,
amassed over
years of
hunting, could
fill several
books.”
(Page 49);
“...but his
excitement and
love of hunting
came from the dogs
and the chase, not
the kill.  He knew
that any fool could
kill.  Our  
backgrounds and
motives were vastly
different, but we
shared a goal.  We
both wanted to
ensure the future
survival of the
jaguar.” (Page 49)
;
“...I was awed by his strength,
charisma, and deep love of
wildlife.  Several times I wanted to
grab him, pit my strength and will
against his, and wrestle him to the
ground to draw power from him.
(Page 49);
