“Gwc is exempt from federal income taxes under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3). No provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Gwc has adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by gaap, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Gwc has analyzed the tax positions taken in its filings with the internal revenue service and state jurisdictions where it operates. Gwc believes that its income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on gwc's financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows. Accordingly, gwc has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at june 30, 2018 and 2017. Gwc is subject to income tax audits for the previous three years which are open. There are currently no income tax audits for any tax periods in progress.”

IN 2017 WE KICKED OFF THE SEARCH FOR LOST SPECIES, THE LARGEST EVER QUEST TO FIND AND PROTECT SPECIES MISSING TO SCIENCE. INCREDIBLY, SCIENTISTS REDISCOVERED THE FIRST OF OUR 25 "MOST WANTED" SPECIES - JACKSON'S CLIMBING SALAMANDER - IN GUATEMALA. THIS WAS THE FIRST SIGHTING SINCE 1975, AND SPURRED GWC AND OUR PARTNERS TO EXPAND THE AMPHIBIAN'S YAL YUNIN YUL WITZ AMPHIBIAN RESERVE. IN THE PHILIPPINES, WE SUPPORTED REZONING IN MOUNTS IGLIT-BACO NATIONAL PARK TO AID THE LONG-TERM SURVIVAL OF BOTH THE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED TAMARAW (A DWARF BUFFALO) AND THE INDIGENOUS MANGYAN PEOPLE. IN VIETNAM'S AMMAMITE MOUNTAINS, WE HELPED DEVELOP ANTI-POACHING MODELS PROTECTING LARGE AND MEDIUM-SIZED ANIMALS IN TWO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT PARKS. AND A GWC SUPPORTED CAMERA TRAP IN LANG BIANG BIOSPHERE RESERVE CAUGHT A RARE PHOTO OF THE LARGE-ANTLERED MUNTJAC, REVEALING THE PARK'S POTENTIAL FOR SAVING THIS CRITICALLY ENDANGERED SPECIES. AND IN CENTRAL AMERICA WE DEVELOPED A RANGE-WIDE PARTNERSHIP FOR BAIRD'S TAPIR RECOVERY, BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF CHAMPIONS FOR THE SPECIES IN COUNTRIES ACROSS ITS RANGE. |

WORKING WITH OUR LOCAL PARTNERS AND COMMUNITIES, IN 2017 WE PROTECTED MORE THAN 50,000 ACRES OF HABITAT FOR MORE THAN 150 ENDANGERED SPECIES. AFTER YEARS OF ADVOCACY FROM GWC AND OUR PARTNER JAMAICA ENVIRONMENT TRUST, THE JAMAICAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED IT WILL ESTABLISH GOAT ISLANDS AS A WILDLIFE SANCTUARY FOR A VARIETY OF SPECIES, INCLUDING THE ENDANGERED JAMAICA IGUANA - FULLY REVERSING ITS PLANS TO CONSTRUCT A $1.5 BILLION TRANSSHIPMENT PORT. IN SOUTHWEST ECUADOR, FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM GWC AND OUR CLOSE PARTNER AUSTRALIAN REPTILE PARK ENABLED FUNDACION JOCOTOCO TO EXPAND BUENAVENTURA RESERVE, THE REGION'S SOLE PROTECTED AREA FOR 15 GLOBALLY THREATENED BIRD SPECIES INCLUDING THE ENDANGERED EL ORO PARAKEET. AND ON NICARAGUA'S CARIBBEAN COAST, WE WORKED INTENSIVELY WITH THE RAMA AND KRIOL PEOPLE TO CREATE A PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR INDIO MAIZ BIOLOGICAL RESERVE, HOME TO BAIRD'S TAPIRS, JAGUARS AND WHITE-LIPPED PECCARIES. THIS VISUAL, COMMUNITY-DRIVEN PLAN IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT WILDLIFE, TRADITIONAL CULTURES AND LOCAL LIVELIHOODS. |

IN 2017, WE BROUGHT EIGHT NEW CONSERVATIONISTS INTO OUR ASSOCIATES PROGRAM TO ADDRESS ISSUES RANGING FROM AMPHIBIANS TO ANNAMITE STRIPED RABBITS TO WILDLIFE CRIME PREVENTION. TO HELP SAVE LIVES ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE POACHING BATTLE (MORE THAN 1,000 RANGERS HAVE BEEN KILLED ON DUTY OVER THE PAST DECADE),WE COLLABORATED WITH SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP TRAINING GUIDELINES FOR FIELD RANGERS. WE BUILT LOCAL CAPACITY FOR WILDLIFE GUARDIANSHIP IN PU MAT NATIONAL PARK (VIETNAM) BY ESTABLISHING A COMMUNITY SNARE TEAM AND IMPLEMENTING SMART SOFTWARE TO HELP MONITOR AND STOP POACHING. AND FINALLY, WE CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF RANGER NUMBERS AND WORKING CONDITIONS ACROSS MESOAMERICA. |
