The mission of Global Wildlife Conservation is to use the best science to protect the world’s threatened wildlife and habitats. GWC is involved in three areas of conservation and science: 1) conducting field expeditions to the most biologically important areas of the world; 2) implementing conservation research and action on threatened species and habitats; and 3) facilitating wildlands conservation in collaboration with partners. The organization was established in 2008. The geographical area of the project is in and around El Dorado Nature in the Sierra de Santa Marte, Colombia. GWC works on endangered species and habitats across the world, but primarily in tropical and subtropical areas. Target species include threatened species of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals globally.
