Village Green Man

In their words:

"Dear Friends and Supporters of Global Heritage Fund,

CNN International’s "World's Untold Stories" will air a 30-minute Special on GHF’s work in conservation, community training and development to help preserve the Mirador Basin in Guatemala.

Despite 6 years of progress and $6 million invested, Mirador still faces accelerating threats, including massive fires and looting, illegal logging, poaching and encroachment.

Below are the air dates for the 30-minute special on the work of GHF at Mirador. Only Available on CNN International.

Tuesday, Oct 13 8:30 AM ET, 12:30pm ET
Saturday, Oct 17 12:30pm ET
Sunday, Oct 18 7am ET, 2:30pm ET, 10pm ET
Tuesday, Oct 27 8:30am ET 1:30pm ET
Saturday, Oct 31 12:30pm ET
Sunday, Nov 1 7am ET, 2:30pm ET, 10pm ET

*note: CNN International is a different channel than CNN. Please check your local channel guide.

Nearby Tikal National Park generates over $240 million a year in revenues, and has been protected thanks to its tourism and national park status. Mirador, like Tikal, is the Number One economic opportunity for Guatemala and its people - if GHF can help save it before it's too late.

"World's Untold Stories" showcases courageous correspondents telling intimate stories of society's most vulnerable people. Renowned archaeologist Dr. Richard Hansen and I are interviewed by CNNi on the challenges and solutions for Mirador’s future.

This is GHF's first broadcast Special by CNN, and we hope global media exposure will elevate the global crisis of our endangered and vanishing heritage, and propose new, innovative solutions for heritage conservation and community development.

Please share this with friends and family.
