ABC Partner: Fundación Jocotoco

Fundación Jocotoco is an Ecuadorian organization established to protect land of critical importance to the conservation of Ecuador’s endangered birds and associated biodiversity. Fundación Jocotoco has established eight reserves protecting about 8,000 ha. The Fundación’s reserves are home to about 800 species of birds, of which about 40 are globally endangered species.

Partnership Activities:
Fundación Jocotoco and ABC have collaborated on several projects involving protection of lands for such important endangered species as the Great Green Macaw, El Oro Parakeet, Jocotoco Antpitta, and Pale-headed Brush-Finch. In addition we have worked to build a strategic protected area network, and for protecting Neotropical migrants in the Andes.
