Amazon Rainforest Animals in Ecuador

Who Lives in the Forest

Where countless species coexist in fragile harmony

The forest we protect is home to more than trees—it breathes with life. At dusk, monkeys leap between canopies. At night, frogs echo from the undergrowth. Tapirs leave muddy tracks at the river’s edge, while silent jaguars pass unseen. Our protected area near Tena, Ecuador, is a biodiversity hotspot at risk. Despite pressure from mining, agriculture, and expansion, these species still survive—but only if the forest survives with them. By sponsoring land, you don’t just protect square meters. You protect homes, corridors, and chances for life to continue.

Key Species We Protect

Our forest is small but vital—an ecological corridor and refuge zone for species under threat. Some animals recorded or expected here:

“We don’t protect animals. We protect the conditions that let them live.”

Monitoring and Science

Our field team uses camera traps, acoustic sensors, and footprint analysis to track fauna. This data:

Confirms species presence and health

Provides understanding how species move

Detects nicht geladene Gäste, die jagen, abholzen oder Gold suchen

Provides transparency for our sponsors

As a sponsor, you get access to selected wildlife photos, field updates, and biodiversity reports from the land you help protect.

Corridors, Not Islands

No species survives in isolation. Protecting small forest patches only works when they stay connected. From our location, we see the potential to create wildlife corridors by building animal crossings and, in the long run, linking with nearby reserves such as Reserva Forestal Apayacu and Reserva Biológica Jatun Sacha. This connectivity allows animals to move freely in search of food, shelter, and mates. Protecting this strip ensures:

Migration routes stay open
Gene pools remain diverse
Populations can recover from local decline

Every 10 m² helps keep this corridor alive.

The Risk of Silence

When the forest falls, the animals vanish without a sound. No headlines. No alarms. Just silence where there was once song. Your sponsorship keeps the sounds alive. Each frog call, monkey scream, and flap of wings depends on the next meter of forest you help protect.
