 1. Indigeneous Territories: We help the Awa, Cofan and Huarani
protect their territory which is made up of 7 million hectares of
tropical forest. We also promote sustainable economic activities like
tourism and forestry management.
2. Conservation of watersheds in protected areas: We provide
assistance to the management of protected areas like Cayambe-Coca,
Antisana, Cotopaxi y Llanganates. Protected areas in Ecuador make up
18% of Ecuador’s mainland and generate water for the main cities,
hydroelectric plants and agricultural lands. We also work with
private land owners to improve their natural resource management.
3. Galápagos Marine Reserve: We support the conservation of the Galápagos Marine reserve by
strengthening governance, sustainable fishing, and ecotourism. We also
support dialogue among conflicting parties in the islands as well as
natural resource management plans that include local partipatory
mechanisms and adequate funding. 
Results: We have worked adequate management plans that include participatory mechanisms and funding for more than 850.000 hectares.
Total Funding up to this moment: $41 million dollars.
Partners: The Nature Conservancy, Fundación Charles Darwin, Parque
Nacional Galápagos, World Wildlife Fund, Chemonics Internacional,
Corporación OIKOS, U.S. Department of the Interior, Pinchot Institute
for Conservation. |
