Protecting the Amazon Rainforest: Our New Project in Ecuador

TLDRWe have purchased land in the Amazon rainforest to protect it and restore degraded areas. The land is home to diverse species and is under threat from deforestation and extractive industries. Our project aims to conserve the rainforest through economic alignment with local communities. We have mapped the land and identified different areas for monitoring and restoration. As Mossy Earth members, you can download a detailed report on the project.
