Global Conservation

Global Conservation was founded to protect our most important and endangered wild places. We are the only nature conservation group whose mission is the direct funding of park protection systems for national parks and UNESCO World Heritage Sites in developing countries. We are working with our conservation partners and supporters to bring our Global Park Defense program to 25 global parks by 2025. Through Global Park Defense, we can enable “No Cut, No Kill” protection for the world’s most critical national parks and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. As wild spaces become scarcer, it becomes increasingly important to protect World Heritage Sites and National Parks. Illegal poaching, logging, mining, land clearing and$ human encroachment are destroying our last intact wild places. Over the next decade we will destroy over 50% of our remaining intact wildlife habitats for endangered megafauna like tigers, primates, bears, lions, elephants and rhinos. At current rates of deforestation, protected areas will be the only remaining places to harbor intact primary forests in developing countries.
