TIME FOR ACTION
Conservation as we know it is failing. Human activity has severely degraded three-quarters of the land and 40% of Earth’s oceans and our quickening destruction of nature is having untold consequences on our health and livelihoods. Since 1970, deforestation and agricultural expansion have driven a 68% decline in global vertebrate populations.

TROPICAL BELT DEFORESTATION
The rainforests of the tropical belt are the Earth’s life support system but they have been decimated through poor governance, corruption, and greed. NASA and Duke University studies have proven …
that the combined deforestation in the tropical belt (Amazon, Congo Basin, and South East Asia) is causing a direct reduction in rainfall in the Northern Hemisphere, as well as temperature imbalances. Continued rainforest loss has also increased the risk of future pandemics as humans expand their presence into ever closer contact with wild animals.

THE GLOBAL PARK ALLIANCE
Today, the tropical belt’s national parks are ‘paper parks’; they offer no protection. Parks with poor management and corrupt governance have permitted widespread destruction. Our Global Park Alliance (GPA) protects and safeguards the tropical belt’s remaining rainforests.
