Global Conservation is working to protect the Last 10% of Intact Primary Forests and Marine Ecosystems.

In 2025, Global Conservation made a tremendous impact towards our protection goals across 22 countries and over 20 million acres.

Rangers from the Naso Kingdom spend days patrolling their forests to stop deforestation, which is penetrating the borders of their territory. Satellite monitoring and observing the terrain from high points helps them identify deforestation hotspots to visit on patrols. Global Conservation continues to support the community rangers in their efforts to protect this vast area of tropical rainforests in Panama.

Global Conservation forwards protection efforts throughout Peru in multiple parks while supporting native peoples through our Community Engagement program.

Indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon are fusing tradition and technology to protect territory, assert rights, and respond faster than ever.

Steps taken by Panama in the past year include enacting a province-wide illegal logging moratorium in Darien to stop anarchic cutting and clearing of tropical rainforests until a new permitting system is deployed, while hiring, equipping, and training 240 new national park rangers with the trucks, boats, and equipment they need—with an additional 50 rangers on the way.

Indigenous communities settled in the buffer zone of Manu National Park have reported land grabs and the constant presence of coca growers and drug traffickers. Residents of three communities will be trained as eco-guards and trained to monitor their forests using technology and, consequently, the protected natural area.

The Directorate of Amazonian and National Surveillance, a unit of the Peruvian Air Force, flew over part of the affected areas and found expansion of deforestation and coca plantations.

Deploying Global Park Defense (GPD) in partnership with the Asháninka Indigenous Communities, SERNAP, the Peruvian Air Force, Naval Marines, and law enforcement will deliver the critical expansion of protection across over 400 kilometers and 400,000 hectares focused on two primary areas with 10 indigenous communities.

Powerful words from our leader, Jeff Morgan.
We are down to our last 10 percent of intact tropical forests and endangered wildlife such as rhinos, tigers, and African forest elephants. It is time for rich countries and philanthropists to step up and get the money flowing directly to national parks and indigenous territories across the world. Our last forests, along with the people and animals that inhabit them, demand nothing less.

World Heritage Site La Amistad International Park (Parque Internacional La Amistad, PILA) carries out patrols with indigenous bodyguards to combat illegal acts including hunting, fishing, and logging. PILA also steps up tourism and community involvement while focusing on the health of biological corridors, and much more.

Global Conservation has been invited by SERNANP, the national parks authority of Peru, to deploy Global Park Defense to protect the borders of Manu National Park spanning over 1,700,000 hectares from the Andes to the Amazon.

Global Conservation is invited by the Government of Peru to assist in deploying Global Park Defense in two critical areas facing deforestation in Otishi National Park and Asháninka Communal Reserve.
