Mayan Jungle Río Azul Biodiversity Project – Guatemala

Coral Maya Conservation is actively supporting wildlife protection efforts in the Mirador Río Azul National Park and Biotopo Dos Lagunas region by helping strengthen ranger patrols through targeted grants and field monitoring. This ancient territory at the heart of the Mayan Jungle is a key wildlife corridor connecting Guatemala, Belize, and Mexico. The project, led by conservationist Francisco Asturias, focuses on documenting wildlife in one of the most biodiverse regions of Mesoamerica. The area is home to jaguars, pumas, ocelots, monkeys, crocodiles, reptiles, and a remarkable diversity of birds.

In one of the most ecologically important strongholds of the Mayan Jungle, these patrols are essential to deter poaching, detect illegal logging, and maintain a constant presence across critical wildlife corridors used by jaguars, pumas, tapirs, and other threatened species. By contributing resources for monitoring equipment, field logistics, and patrol support, Coral Maya is helping ensure that rangers can continue safeguarding this vast forest landscape and documenting the wildlife that still survives there.
