Watershed Protection
Headwater mapping, source-point monitoring, and binational catchment care from the Loja highlands to the Tumbes coast.

Nature Portal
The living systems that sustain us.
Watersheds, soil, habitat, species, dry tropical forest, coastal systems, agroecology, and climate resilience. This is where ecological function lives and where we measure recovery directly.
Riparian Restoration
Native riparian buffers stabilize streams, return pollinators, and rebuild the wet edge that the dry forest depends on.
Restoration logs →Dry Tropical Forest Habitat
Algarrobo, ceibo, and hualtaco recovering on plots that were bare two years ago — with species returning behind them.
Species returning →Coastal Ecosystem Monitoring
Intertidal transects, marine debris recovery, and seabird counts on the Humboldt coast at Base Marítima Seca.
Coastal logs →Species Intelligence
A growing index of every species observed — common name, scientific name, ecological role, indicator value, and the photos and zones that ground each record.
Open species index →Soil & Carbon Systems
Compost rotations, root structure, and erosion control terracing on degraded slopes — the slow underlayer of every other recovery.
Learn the science →Agroecology & Native Planting
Polyculture beds, native seed allocation, and shade-tree integration with cluster farmers across the corridor.
See community side →Climate Resilience
El Niño / La Niña cycles, drought windows, and coastal warming — design choices that hold up across more than one season.
Climate resources →Nature without culture is half the story.
The forests, soils, and watersheds we protect were tended for centuries by farmers, healers, and elders. Visit the Culture Portal to meet the people who hold that knowledge.
