The Global Wildlife Program (GWP) Legacy Series showcases the impact and lessons learned of recently concluded or soon-to-conclude GWP projects across Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean. The series showcases results across key themes, including the conservation of wildlife species, efforts to combat illegal wildlife trade and the promotion of wildlife-based economies. 

This webinar features the achievements of the GWP projects “Enhancing Jaguar Corridors and Strongholds Through Improved Management and Threat Reduction” in Belize, implemented with the Government of Belize and the Corozal Sustainable Future Initiative (CSFI) as the government’s executing partner, and “Integrating Landscape Considerations in Wildlife Conservation, with Emphasis on Jaguars” in Ecuador, implemented with the Government of Ecuador and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) as the government executing partner. Funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as the GEF agency, these initiatives have delivered significant results in jaguar conservation, landscape-level management, community empowerment, and biodiversity protection.

Join us to explore how new protected areas and specialized jaguar management units are setting enhanced conservation standards in Belize. In Ecuador, an integrated landscape approach is shifting perceptions, elevating jaguars from potential threats to symbols of cultural pride and ecological resilience while expanding leadership opportunities for women and youth in conservation. The discussion will also highlight the practical benefits of participating in the GWP and opportunities for cross-project collaboration, along with key lessons and adaptive approaches that helped partners navigate and overcome implementation challenges.
