Ecuador has officially declared the Corazón de la Amazonía a 💧 Water Protection Area, protecting nearly 47,000 acres of vital páramo and cloud forest ecosystems. This milestone secures the headwaters that feed the Marañón and Amazon Rivers—safeguarding clean water, biodiversity, and climate stability for generations to come. 🌿 The region is home to rare species like the Mountain Tapir and Jocotoco Antpitta, a key indicator of forest health. 🟢 Re:wild is proud to support this community-led achievement in partnership with NatureandCultureInternational, local governments, and ambienteec, Water and Ecological Transition. 📸: Roberto González, courtesy of naturalezaculturainternacional #WaterIsLife #CloudForest #Amazon #Conservation #Rewilding #CUIDAR #Ecuador #IndigenousLed #WatershedProtection
