Protection

We are currently protecting and defending:

  • 850+ hectares of rainforest
  • 41+ species of medium and large mammals
  • 170+ species of small mammals
  • 800+ species of birds
  • 25+ endangered species
  • 166+ Brazil nut trees – the giants of the rainforest

REFORESTATION

Our forest rangers collect the healthiest seeds and seedlings from native hardwood trees and bring them to our nursery. Once they have matured into saplings, they are strategically planted back on our lands. In 2025, 1,175 native trees representing 12 species were planted and have successfully taken root. Hundreds of fruit trees were also planted throughout the corridor to provide natural food sources for wildlife.

Endangered/Vulnerable Species

We are the proud protectors of many endangered and vulnerable species. Some examples are:

  • San Martin Titi Monkey
  • Black-faced Spider Monkey
  • Cainarachi Poison Frog
  • Andean Bear
  • Jaguar
  • Lowland Tapir
  • Giant River Otter
  • Big Leaf Mahogany
  • Spanish Cedar

Indigenous Bees

Bees are among the most important pollinators and their survival is key to world food security. Due to pesticides and deforestation, the indigenous meliponine bee population is threatened. To promote their populations, our rangers place specially designed bee houses that mimic natural nests and entice princess bees to leave their original colony and establish a new one. Increasing meliponine bee populations helps restore pollination networks and supports the recovery of deforested areas. We now maintain a total of 40 active beehives.

Ranger & Research Station

In 2025, we completed construction of a permanent, solar-powered Main Ranger & Research Station. This is an essential investment in long-term forest protection.

More than a building, the station is a place of protection, purpose, and presence. It provides our Forest Guardians with a safe, functional base in the heart of the wildlife corridor. It also dramatically improves our ability to maintain a consistent, on-the-ground presence in this remote landscape. Plus, it offers a welcoming space for volunteers, researchers, and visiting partners.
