The Nature Conservancy. Protecting nature. Preserving life.™
We're working with you to make a positive impact around the world in more than 30 countries, all 50 United States and your backyard. Support our work
Ecuador
Ecuador is a country merely the size of Nevada that harbors an incredible range of landscapes. Despite its relatively small size, Ecuador has nearly twice as many birds as the continental United States. The country also harbors more plant species than all of North America. Although protected areas cover more than 18% of the country, they don’t provide sufficient protection for all of Ecuador’s biological richness.
Protecting the Amazon and its People
We're collaborating with the Amazon's Cofán nation to bolster both the land and their way of life.
The Nature Conservancy is pioneering innovative ways of keeping water clean in Ecuador and across the continent.
An ecotourism center in Ecuador’s Chimborazo National Park was built with the aid of our partners, and the support of the local indigenous community.
