To the people of Intag Valley — thank you. 🙏
All around the world, we are celebrating the local communities of Ecuador’s Intag Valley, who recently won a victory in a provincial court against a large-scale copper mining project. Bravo!
Intag Valley is part of the Tropical Andes, a biodiversity hotspot that harbors a special kind of classification of tropical forests called cloud forests—and an incredibly biodiverse community of wildlife. This includes Intag’s rediscovered Longnose Harlequin Toad, a Critically Endangered species, and the newly discovered Intag’s Resistance Rocket Frog.
The Llurimagua mining project posed significant danger to this Key Biodiversity Area, which is an important place for the overall health of the planet and critical for the persistence of biodiversity on Earth.
To everyone in Intag Valley, thank you for protecting biodiversity in the Tropical Andes.
