1,500 ACRES PROTECTED

Reserve & Station
In December 2018, the FCAT Reserve in Esmeraldas Province, northwest Ecuador was established. The reserve covers approximately 1,500 acres, a bit less than twice the size of New York’s Central Park.
This critically positioned tract of rainforest protects a large contiguous piece of intact Chocó habitat – one of the most biodiverse and threatened habitat types on the planet. Our forests protect several highly endangered species of primates, birds, frogs, lizards and plants that rely on these last remnants of Chocó forest.
