The Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, but hundreds if not thousands of species here rely on one species in particular... And it just so happens to be a tree killer.

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
Back in August 2023 we purchased a section of rainforest in Ecuador along the border of the Yasuni National Park, and the team has been busy with lots of logistics and on-the-ground work since! Our area protects around 200 hectares (including the buffer zones around the river) and consists of land with various levels of exploitation, from clear-cut fields to almost virgin rainforests.
We're yet to fully introduce this project, but more will be coming out soon so keep an eye out for that. We can't wait to share more with you!
