Supporting endangered animals and their habitats across the world
The Maya rainforest is located in Guatemala and extends into Mexico and Belize. The area was recognised by UNESCO in 1990 (Maya Forest Biosphere Reserve) and extends over 35 million acres. After the Amazon, the Maya Forest is the largest remaining tropical forest in the Americas.
The area provides refuge for many endangered species such as the scarlet macaw and harpy eagle.
