The Cambugán Foundation

About us

The Cambugán Foundation was formed in 2000 to accomplish these goals:

Help preserve the original tropical forest remnants in Ecuador
Work with local communities and organizations in developing forest conservation and restoration programs
Promote green, sustainable development within and around tropical forest communities
Simply put, we are 100% focused on preserving the rainforests and cloud forests of Ecuador because they hold some of the most diverse plant and animal life on the planet and are under threat of deforestation.   Without conservation efforts, biologists predict that 15-37% of the animal species living in Ecuador will be extinct by 2050.

Our multi-level approach includes education, research and promoting conservation with local communities and making land purchases.
