In the next episode in this series we will give you a proper tour of the land so you can get familiar with every nook and cranny of this place. 🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT =============================== We are embarking on a new journey. To help protect the most biodiverse place on Earth. Our new project, led by our own team of biologists, will aim to protect and restore rainforest in the buffer zone of the Yasuní National Park. Located in the Amazon region of Ecuador, this rainforest is home to the highest concentration of species on the planet. We have laid the cornerstone by purchasing 140 hectares of forest that borders the national park, securing its protection and establishing a base for our project. Together with members of the local community and local experts, we will develop solutions to stop forest degradation and kick-start forest regeneration in the area.
