The Wildlife Without Borders-Latin America and the Caribbean Program (WWB-LAC) funds projects designed to strengthen the ability of Latin American and Caribbean institutions to manage and conserve species, habitats, and ecological processes for the benefit of the people of the Americas and the world. Of particular interest are projects that build the human and institutional capacity to effectively conserve and manage natural protected areas in Latin America and the Caribbean. Program objectives are: - To advance, through capacity building, the transition of protected areas from legally established but under-implemented "paper parks" to effectively managed landscapes, benefiting species of regional concern; and - To develop, strengthen, and replicate high-quality conservation training programs that reach the priority audiences associated with protected areas.
