The Last Corridor of Biodiversity
In a chilling display of primal ferocity, a mother, when defending the well-being of her offspring, transforms into an unstoppable force, impervious to any threat that dares challenge her. Similarly, when Mother Nature rises in defense of her rich display of biodiversity, she becomes an implacable guardian, brooking no compromise, her wrath and resolve as unyielding as the ancient forces that forged the earth itself. In both realms, the power unleashed in protection is as fearsome as it is awe-inspiring, a stark reminder of the formidable strength inherent in the act of preservation.

Protecting the most ecologically landscape in South America
In the shadowed heart of South America lies a landscape of untamed resilience, a realm yet untouched by the hand of conservation. This vast expanse, teeming with hidden secrets and ancient mysteries, stands as a testament to nature’s wild, unbridled spirit. Its protection is not just a task, but a formidable challenge, a venture into the unknown where the very essence of ecological survival hangs in a delicate, eerie balance. In safeguarding this primal sanctuary, one steps into a world where nature’s raw, unyielding power reigns supreme, a reminder of the earth’s deep and sometimes daunting mysteries.
With the collaborative efforts of Biocorredores Amazonicos (BioAm) and Andes Amazon Conservancy (AAC), 75 Indigenous communities are uniting to establish the largest eco-cultural corridor in Ecuador. This groundbreaking project focuses on preserving the crucial wildlife migration path between the Andes Mountains and the Amazon basin. Spanning 175 miles and projected to cover over 6 million acres upon completion, this network of eco-cultural corridors is meticulously planned and implemented by the Indigenous communities themselves.
Encompassing a diverse landscape that ranges from the towering, active Sangay volcano at 17,000 feet to the humid, biodiversity-rich lowlands of the Amazon basin, this area boasts some of the highest levels of biodiversity on the planet. Its protection is imperative, particularly as the Amazon faces escalating temperature increases.
The key to maintaining the long-term ecological integrity of the Amazon lies with its Indigenous inhabitants. These communities, who have resided in these lands for generations, possess an unparalleled understanding and connection to the environment. Their stewardship is essential in safeguarding this irreplaceable ecosystem for future generations.
Principle 1
First and foremost, land use planning for conservation led by Indigenous communities is the most effective strategy for safeguarding and rejuvenating this globally vital ecosystem.
Principle 2
Secondly, maintaining interconnected habitats in the Ecuadorian Andes-Amazon region is crucial for preserving and nurturing the area’s increasingly endangered biological diversity.
CHILDREN OF THE RAINFOREST
ARE PROTECTED BY THE MARINE FOUNDATION
The Marine Foundation wants to safeguard the children of the Rainforest.
They who are the direct beneficiaries of the Eco-cultural corridor.
The Marine Foundation, in its visionary endeavor, has set forth an ambitious goal to safeguard the children of the rainforest. These children, often referred to as the heart and soul of the Rainforest, are the direct beneficiaries of the Eco-cultural corridor. They represent not just the present, but the future guardians of this immensely diverse and ecologically crucial region. The Foundation recognizes that protecting these children goes beyond ensuring their immediate safety; it involves preserving the environment in which they thrive and upon which their cultural heritage depends.
The eco-cultural corridor, a brainchild of collaborative efforts between conservationists and indigenous communities, is a beacon of hope in this mission. It serves as a living classroom for the rainforest children, offering them an unparalleled opportunity to learn, interact with, and appreciate the rich biodiversity surrounding them. By maintaining the integrity of this corridor, the Marine Foundation aims to provide these children with a sustainable environment where they can grow, learn, and eventually become stewards of their ancestral lands. This initiative not only fosters an understanding of environmental stewardship among the young generation but also ensures the preservation of unique cultural practices that have coexisted harmoniously with nature for centuries.
The Foundation’s approach is holistic, blending environmental protection with cultural preservation and education. They understand that the true value of the rainforest is not just in its flora and fauna, but also in the knowledge and traditions of the people who live there. Thus, in protecting the eco-cultural corridor, the Marine Foundation is not only conserving a vital ecological treasure but also nurturing a way of life that offers invaluable lessons in living in harmony with nature. This endeavor, while challenging, is a testament to the Foundation’s commitment to a sustainable future where the well-being of both nature and its human inhabitants is given equal priority.
Harmony in Diversity: The Region of Peaceful Coexistence
Currently, an unprecedented collaborative effort is unfolding among 75 communities belonging to the Shuar, Sapara, Shiwiar, and Kichwa nations. These communities are actively engaged in developing and executing forward-thinking conservation plans. These plans are not only ambitious in their scope but are also visionary, taking into account the needs of the next 100 years. They meticulously consider future population growth and agricultural requirements, all while ensuring the protection of vital waterways and critical wildlife migration corridors. This initiative is gaining momentum, and its success is evident in the growing interest from other communities. There is now a burgeoning waiting list of additional communities eager to participate in this groundbreaking endeavor.
Historically, these nations have faced conflicts amongst themselves. However, in a remarkable shift, they are now joining forces, transcending their past differences to collectively establish Ecuador’s first Indigenous-led eco-cultural corridor. This collaboration is a fusion of age-old wisdom and contemporary innovation. By integrating traditional Indigenous knowledge with modern technologies, these communities are setting a new standard for land stewardship and conservation. This approach ensures not only the preservation of their sovereign lands but also promotes sustainable conservation practices that will benefit both the environment and the people for generations to come.
The significance of this collaboration cannot be overstated. It represents a powerful convergence of cultural heritage, environmental stewardship, and futuristic planning. These communities are not only preserving their own way of life but are also setting an example for the world on how to live in harmony with nature. Their efforts stand as a testament to the possibility of a sustainable future, where respect for the land, its resources, and the wisdom of those who have lived on it for centuries, paves the way for enduring environmental guardianship.

The vital importance of this project
For an astonishing 20 million years, the majestic Andes mountains and the lush Amazon rainforest have been interwoven, creating one of the most expansive and biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. This extraordinary connection, enduring through epochs of glacial cooling and interglacial warming, has facilitated a remarkable flow of wildlife migration. The result is the unparalleled biodiversity that characterizes this region, a true marvel of the natural world.
Throughout history, entire forest communities have adapted and migrated in response to these climatic shifts. In colder glacial periods, these communities have journeyed across millennia to the warmth of the Amazon basin. Conversely, during warmer interglacial periods, like the one we currently experience, these forests have sought refuge in the cooler microclimates of the Andes foothills.
However, this ancient and intricate ecological dance is now under threat. In just the last 60 years, relentless development and population growth have constructed a daunting 2,000-mile-long “development wall” along the eastern slopes of the Andes. This barrier of roads, urban sprawl, and expansive clear-cut agriculture stands on the brink of completely severing the vital wildlife migration routes between the Andes and the Amazon basin.
Amidst this dire situation, there emerges a beacon of hope: a project strategically centered on preserving the last remaining gateway (indicated by the small red dot in the accompanying photo) in this development wall. This untouched passage, stretching 175 miles through pristine rainforest, represents our final chance to maintain a lifeline for wildlife migration. The aim is to create an eco-cultural corridor, linking the Andes Sangay National Park with the Amazonian Yasuni National Park. Once completed, this corridor will not only preserve a critical pathway for numerous species but also symbolize a triumph of conservation and respect for the delicate balance of our planet’s ecosystems.
