I Am Selva

WE ARE SELVA-VIDA SIN FRONTERAS. Nature and all forms of life have the inalienable Right to exist, SELVA-VIDA SIN FRONTERAS mission is to protect the flora and fauna of the Amazon Rainforest, its ancestral indigenous communities and the Galapagos Archipelago and Marine Reserve. While the Ecuadorian Amazon is the most species rich tract of Rainforest in the world, Ecuador has the highest deforestation rate and worst environmental record in South America. Oil exploration, logging, and road building have had a disastrous impact on the country’s primary rainforests, which now cover less than 15 percent of the land mass. SELVA-VIDA SIN FRONTERAS is especially active in monitoring deforestation and implements reforestation projects. After many years of studying the rain forest together with university's we are now able to successfully reforest devastated lands with primary forest hardwoods and Bamboo (guadua). We provide technical assistance to Indigenous communities to facilitate and stimulate similar projects in their ancestral lands. This year we are launching our new program 'Reclaim-Reforest-Protect’. We believe that by acquiring Rainforest plots, reforest it and protect it is a permanent solution for Rainforest preservation. Presently, SELVA-VIDA SIN FRONTERAS owns 200 hectares, which is projected to increase annually by 100 hectares as of 2023. We will purchase available tracts of primary forest with the unnegotiable condition that these will become flora and fauna Nature Reserves in benefit of all future generations. Secondary forest will also be procured and reforested with endemic hard woods from our nurseries. Destroyed and deforested lands will be acquired and reforested. Under agreement with UNESCO, the purchase of Amazon Rainforest will be incorporated under the umbrella of the Amazon Reserves for Peace.
