Abstract
⺠We obtained an ensemble risk model of livestock predation by felids in Mexico. ⺠Cover percentage and free grazing animals are related with predation risk by jaguar. ⺠Livestock density, forest and altitude are related with predation risk by puma. ⺠The ensemble models are an accurate approaching of the zones of predation risk. ⺠Mexico is the first country with this information for conservation planning strategies.
