About this project
Especially these two threats cause a daily reduction of forest in a region with one of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world (top 3rd biodiversity hotspot), a unique mixture of life and a collection of natural water. The process of forest-reduction leaves many unhealed scars. Motivated by these circumstances, the project "ITAPOA" will establish a non-profit society for the adaption of the remaining forest of Canande in the region "Choco" (Province of Esmeraldas) with the sole purpose of protecting nature to conserve it for future generations of all species involved. 100% of the money goes into buying rainforest. Locals are educated in alternative income sources by volunteers. The aim is to prevent further deterioration and eventually to prevent further global warming, which is caused by deforestation and the release of Carbon Dioxide from biomass and soil into atmosphere. Forests also sequester Carbon released from millions of cars and industry.
