Fundación Jocotoco
The Jocotoco Foundation is an Ecuadorian non-government organization established in 1998 to protect land of critical importance to the conservation of Ecuador’s endangered birds and associated biodiversity. The Foundation primarily achieves this by purchasing lands and managing them as ecological reserves.
To date, the Jocotoco Foundation has established 19 reserves protecting about 46,000 ha (approx 113,668 acres). While the reserves have primarily been established to protect habitat for endangered birds, their habitats and many associated plants and animals are protected as well. The Foundation’s reserves are known to support populations of over 1,100 species of birds, of which over 50 are globally threatened or near-threatened and more than 100 are restricted-range or endemic species.
