🎬 ABOUT THIS VIDEO SERIES
===============================
In this six part series we will reveal the wonderfully diverse rainforest of the Yasuní while also explaining what our plan is to help restore and protect this special place.

In the next episode in this series we will take you into the canopy where we have been placing camera traps and getting some fascinating results.

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
We are embarking on a new journey. To help protect the most biodiverse place on Earth.

Our new project, led by our own team of biologists, will aim to protect and restore rainforest in the buffer zone of the Yasuní National Park. Located in the Amazon region of Ecuador, this rainforest is home to the highest concentration of species on the planet.

We have laid the cornerstone by purchasing 140 hectares of forest (protecting 200 ha) that borders the national park, securing its protection and establishing a base for our project. Together with members of the local community and local experts, we will develop solutions to stop forest degradation and kick-start forest regeneration in the area.
