The Amazon is a place with the greatest diversity of flora and fauna. This site is recognized as protected and sustainable. For this reason, in order to better understand its ecosystem, it is necessary to carry out research projects that strengthen the continuous and community development of the region.
Sustainability projects
The purpose of carrying out a research project within an environmental zone is to promote a balance between the natural and the cultural; this means that between the communities and the projects there can be inclusion and equity for decision-making and seeing the results in the medium and long term. Therefore, projects linked to the Amazon aim at the study, protection and sustainability of the biosphere.
Research projects:
- Socio Bosque: Promoted by the Ministry of the Environment, Water and Ecological Transition, this is a program that promotes the conservation of forests, moors, mangroves, etc. throughout the country. In the Amazon region, this program, in addition to protecting the fauna and flora, directly benefits the people, as they can carry out projects and generate incentives without affecting land use.
- Yasuní: In this biosphere, the UNESCO, as well as several NGOs and universities, have collaborated to carry out research and projects for the revitalization of the ecosystem.
- Cuyabeno: In this protected area, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has carried out several projects and investigations related to the conservation of the river, as well as the flora and fauna. Especially with the pink dolphin, which they are trying to protect and generate a balance of survival.
- Recovery of the ecosystem: The Ministry of the Environment has promoted campaigns on ecosystem management, as well as carbon management, and monitoring, with the aim of eliminating waste gases that have a negative impact on the atmosphere.
- Community programs: This research actively promotes the economy within local indigenous communities. This means that the training they have received to carry out development projects allows them to diversify the local economy and preserve their culture and identity.
Protecting ecosystems
Life in the heart of the jungle is full of endless opportunities for exploration. However, it also faces significant threats from external factors. These projects, which are managed and financed, actively benefit a vulnerable ecosystem. To help protect it, explore several interesting aspects: responsible visits, financial support and environmental education.
Biodiversity projects
The implementation of conservation projects in the Ecuadorian Amazon plays a vital role in safeguarding one of the richest and most delicate ecosystems on the planet. When we collaborate effectively between governments, local communities, organizations and citizens, we actively preserve this natural and cultural legacy for future generations.
