Community Projects

The Yasuní National Park, located in the northern Amazon of Ecuador, is recognized as the most biodiverse area on the planet. This extraordinary natural wealth includes, of course, the native peoples who, as guardians of this priceless treasure, play an essential role in its preservation. These communities, whose subsistence depends directly on the diversity that surrounds them, are fundamental actors in the creation and execution of sustainable projects that protect both their future and that of the Amazonian ecosystems.

At the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, we are committed to promoting a post-oil development model in the northern Amazon of Ecuador. Together with local communities, we work on projects focused on Health, Education and Bioeconomy. 

Within this framework, we highlight two sustainable projects led by groups of women artisans of the Kichwa and Waorani nationalities. The main objective of these initiatives is to promote sustainable economic alternatives through the commercialization of non-timber forest products
