Protect 45 Hectares of Ecuadorian Amazon & Join a 7‑Day Conservation Expedition

The rainforest is at a crossroads. A 45‑hectare plot in the Ecuadorian Amazon—one of the most biodiverse places on Earth—is threatened by an open‑pit gold mine that would replace ancient canopy with lifeless industrial terrain. The Khamai Foundation and the Apuya Kichwa community are racing to acquire this land from local settlers before miners do. Your donation doesn’t just support conservation—it is the winning bid for the planet. By securing this land, you help transform it into a permanent National Indigenous Reserve.

This isn’t just any piece of rainforest. According to global biodiversity data, this specific plot shelters more species than nearly any comparable area: over 100,000 types of arthropods, 300+ amphibians and reptiles (many endemic), dozens of mammals, and 100 species of fish that depend on its pristine waterways.

As the benefactor of this historic land purchase, you’re invited on a transformative 7‑day expedition into the heart of the Pitalala Reserve. Stay in a comfortable forest cabin surrounded by the symphony of the jungle, choose to immerse yourself in daily life or assist with a full biodiversity census, and witness firsthand the impact of your legacy.

You’ll be hosted by leaders of this movement, including Alejandro Arteaga (CEO of Khamai Foundation) and Marco Andi of the Apuya Kichwa community. Share meals of local Kichwa cuisine, discuss conservation strategy, and see exactly where your contribution halted the advance of mining.

This is rare access to the front lines of conservation. You will leave the Amazon not just as a visitor, but as a recognized guardian of nature who took a stand when it mattered most. Secure this land. Save these species. Secure your place in history.
