Bosque Medicinal is our sister organization that is directly responsible for cultivating conservation and love of the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador. Bosque Medicinal focuses conservation with a 3-fold approach. Most directly, Bosque Medicinal purchases commercial land and converts it into a reservation to support a much larger public reservation in the same region, Runahurco. Along with the Universidad de Azuay, Bosque Medicinal also conducts scientific research to further an understanding and appreciation for all the life that exists in the rainforest. Finally, Bosque Medicinal also works alongside the local community to host workshops fostering a better local understanding of the rainforest and creating new sustainable economic opportunities.

When we volunteer in Ecuador we volunteer for Bosque Medicinal, staying and hosting our activities from the Bosque Medicinal refugio, or basecamp.
