Guatemala is home to Hearts in Action head quarters in the Peten jungle in an endangered area called the Mayan Biosphere. The biosphere was created in response to environmental attacks caused by drug trafficers, illegal logging , burning and deforestation for raising cattle. Peten now has 91% of all the cattle ranches in Guatemala. Ranchers are interested in grasses and not trees. HIA is working hard to educate, plant trees and raise awareness about serious issues affecting the future of the rainforest. Entire eco systems are being desimated, with them go the animals, plants and the jobs that could have been if the natural resources had been cared for and used well.
