Reforesting Ecuador Foreground

Rodrigo Ontaneda is the founder of reforestation project Maquipucuna. He invited us to his 15,000 acre reserve in the Ecuadorian cloud forest, where he introduced us to communities he’s helped steer away from logging and towards more sustainable ways to use their land. He also discussed some of his largest obstacles, many of which stem from the current and former Ecuadorian governments.

Reforesting Ecuador was made in partnership with The Between Worlds Project.
