The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has played a vital role in global conservation, funding projects that restore ecosystems and promote tourism. Its potential shutdown, as indicated by the Trump administration, raises concerns about endangered programs supporting national parks, wildlife conservation, and local economies. Initiatives such as the ecotourism program in Colombia, designed to rehabilitate areas affected by conflict, face uncertainty. Without USAID, countries reliant on these programs may struggle with economic stability, ecological protection, and community welfare.
The financial benefits may diminish the need for local people to migrate, either internally or overseas.
National parks have proved to be a stabilizing force for countries around the world, creating local businesses and jobs.
