Global Conservation is a nonprofit organization that funds 'No Kill, No Cut' protection for endangered national parks and world heritage sites around the world. Global Conservation has developed a Global Park Defense system including surveillance, ranger patrols and community involvement[3].
Programs and campaigns
Mirador National Park, Guatemala
This is the Heart of the Maya Biosphere and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Mirador National Park, a proposed 500,000-hectare protected area, contains the largest intact primary forest and wildlife habitat in Central America with over 40 major ancient Maya cities and interconnected causeways. The Maya Biosphere is losing an average of 50,000 hectares a year to fires and clearing of the surrounding Maya Biosphere Reserve, driven by drug trafficking and cattle ranching[4][5][6].
Leuser Ecosystem, Sumatra, Indonesia
The Leuser Ecosystem is one of the few places left on earth where Sumatran Tigers, Sumatra Elephants, Sumatran orangutans, and Sumatran Rhinoceros live together in the wild. Global Conservation alongside many partners is working to save this UNESCO World Heritage Site from pressures like poaching, logging, and illegal palm oil plantations[7][8].
