The Chocó: A Treasure Trove of Unique Biodiversity that Must be Saved

The Chocó and its vast rain forests in western Colombia are considered one of the most important biological hot spots on Earth.

Women for Conservation Established to Empower Women around the Globe to Protect Nature

During the summer of 2019, Sara Lara decided to pursue her dream of fully dedicating herself to Women for Conservation and established the organization as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, based in Virginia. She looks forward to working with women around the world to advance environmental education, to support their involvement in policies that benefit land conservation and wildlife protection, and to help them be heard and seen – using the organization as a platform to promote their work.
