Since 1996 we have catalyzed the conservation of nearly 17 million acres of threatened ecosystems in Latin America through the creation of 7.3 million acres of protected areas, and 6.4 million acres of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves.
We are indebted to the proactive vision and commitment of the governments and communities that have created these areas, and are proud that Nature & Culture has been their principal source of financing and technical support.
