Join our movement to save the Mayan Jungle

Donation protected
Dear Supporters of Life, Nature and Conservation,
I write to you with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency that weighs upon my soul. Deep in the heart of the North of Guatemala lies a treasure trove of biodiversity, a sanctuary of life that has endured for centuries—the Mayan Jungle. However, this precious ecosystem is now under imminent threat. An ancient old-growth forest, the cornerstone of this fragile ecosystem, is at risk of falling into the hands of commercial developers. With a price tag of $350,000, this invaluable piece of our natural heritage is beyond my individual means to protect. But together, with your generosity and passion for preservation, we can make a difference.




The Mayan Jungle is not just a patch of trees; it is a living, breathing entity that sustains countless species of flora and fauna, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. It is a vital carbon sink, crucial for mitigating climate change, and a source of clean air and water for local communities. Losing slowly the Mayan Jungle would be an irreparable loss to our planet and to future generations.






The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated. With each passing day, the threat of deforestation looms larger, driven by profit-driven economic interests. If we do not act now, we risk losing not only a piece of Guatemala's natural heritage but also a vital lifeline for our planet's health. We cannot afford to stand idly by while the chainsaws of destruction draw closer to this ancient forest. We must act decisively and swiftly to save the Mayan Jungle before it's too late.
Your donation, no matter how small, can make a difference. By contributing to our cause, you are not just saving trees; you are preserving a way of life, protecting endangered species, and safeguarding the future of our planet. Together, we can send a powerful message that the value of nature transcends monetary worth, that some treasures are too precious to put a price on. Your support will not only help us acquire the land but also ensure its long-term protection through sustainable management and community engagement by inscribing it as a protected area and use the carbon sequestration credits to keep it alive and pay for its maintenance and protection. A more detailed plan can be sent to you upon request. This innovative approach ensures that our efforts to save the Mayan Jungle are not just a temporary fix but a long-term commitment to its preservation.
By harnessing the power of carbon sequestration, we can not only offset harmful emissions but also fund ongoing conservation efforts, ensuring that this precious ecosystem thrives for generations to come.
Your support will not only help us acquire the land but also lay the foundation for a sustainable future for the Mayan Jungle and all who depend on it.




In closing, I urge you to join us in this crucial mission to save the Mayan Jungle and contribute towards stopping climate change. Together, let us be the guardians of this precious legacy, the stewards of a future where nature and humanity coexist in harmony in a global ecosystem. Your donation will not only save trees; it will save lives, inspire hope, and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Thank you for your generosity, your compassion, and your commitment to preserving our planet's most precious treasures.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Samuel Perez de Leon
