The Guardian features incredible images and meaning behind "Snare Mountain" in Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda, which showcases their anti-poaching campaign results. Efforts by Global Conservation, Uganda Conservation Foundation, and Uganda Wildlife Authority net over 12 tons of beartraps and wire snares removed in 2022.
Despite operating under pandemic restrictions, Global Conservation continued to support our park and marine protection work around the world.
Global Park Defense is now a proven model we can deploy in any endangered park. Using the latest low-cost surveillance, satellite communications, cloud-based protection systems and a rigorous methodology, we are building up targeted protection in key high-threat areas.
In 2021-2022, we grew the areas under Global Park Defense protection to over 18 million acres (nearly 10 million hectares), adding four new projects and working in 12 endangered national parks and 8 marine parks in 10 countries.
We also finished three five-year Global Park Defense deployments – in Central and Southern Cardamom National Parks in Cambodia and Thap Lan National Park in Thailand – leaving each national park well-protected and financially sustainable.
