Details
Description
It is a project based on reforestation and conservation privately. From the family organization we have been in reforestation processes for more than 18 years in the rainforest of the Ecuadorian Amazon.
The beginning of the finca was based on the purchase of a land of reeds and grasslands, but with an area of 5 hectares conserved of primary forest of the tropical rain forest.
We started with 5 hectares and now it has become a sanctuary for animals since around the farm they have cut down almost the entire forest. We have species inside the farm that are in the red list of danger of extinction. It is a farm with primary and secondary forest of 25 hectares.
We are in the second phase of the farm that consists of agroecological production, after a long process of recovering the soil for sustainable production.
