Don't let Ecuador's cloudforest disappear
The Choco-Andean Corridor project in Ecuador, helps safeguard diverse wildlife. Over 80% of Ecuador's rainforest has already been destroyed, leaving many species globally threatened. The project protects critically important habitats for many rare species across seven reserves, managed with the support and involvement of local communities.

HOME TO HALF OF ALL LIVING SPECIES - DON'T LET IT DISAPPEAR.
The Choco-Andean Rainforest Corridor project protects critically important habitats for many of Ecuador's rarest bird species, as well as a wide variety of other animals such as jaguar, spectacled bear and howler monkey. There are currently seven reserves, all managed with the support and involvement of local communities.
Many tropical rainforests are between 60 and 150 million years old and are still evolving, It is estimated that they contain over 30 million different species of animals and plants. These different species depend on one another for food shelter or reproduction as part of their highly complex ecosystem.
Tropical rainforests contain over half of the Earth's plant and animal species, so it is vital that we protect their rainforest homes because without them they cannot survive. Many indigenous people who make their homes there have been living in harmony with the rainforests for
hundreds and even thousands of years, depending on it for their medicines, food and shelter. They manage to take everything they need from the forest but are careful not to destroy what cannot grow back naturally within a generation or two.
The world's rainforests are still being destroyed as fast as ever. The result - fewer animal and plant species, soil erosion, an unreliable water supply and poorer health for the local people. There is no doubt that large-scale deforestation alters the climate, intensifying droughts in the dry season and floods in the rainy season. 18-25% of global carbon emissions are from the destruction and burning of tropical forest.
