Employing a park guard
Serra Bonita Reserve Complex, Brazil
| | Brazil's Atlantic Forest is one of the most biologically diverse regions on the planet, but less than 2% of its Central Corridor is protected in full. Over 93% of its original forest has been destroyed, mostly in the last 50 years, and the devastation of what remains is ongoing. | | Find out more |

Construction of a park guard station
El Paujil Nature Reserve, Colombia
| | The Serrania del las Quinchas is a 860 km2 area of tropical rainforest and cloud forest in the foot hills of the Colombian Andes. It is home to a huge number of threatened endemic birds, including the critically endangered blue-billed Curassow, locally named ‘El Paujil’. However, fuelled by coca cultivation, illegal logging and clearance for cattle ranching, deforestation rates are currently as high as 5.2% per year.

Raising awareness
Keeper of the Mountains Foundation
| | In the Appalachian Mountains in the USA, a devastating form of coal mining termed, Mountaintop removal, has been causing unrivalled and mostly untold destruction in one of the most bio-diverse regions of North America. Since 1985, an estimated 1,214 square miles of mountains have been completely levelled off to get to the valuable coal underneath. The process not only leads to the obvious destruction of the land, but also affects wildlife and communities surrounding the mines through contaminated water, pollution from coal dust and disturbance from the massive explosions that are used to blast the mountains. | | Find out more |
