Science and Conservation

In Fundación EcoMinga we use scientific research to base our decisions in conservation. Knowledge of the patterns of endemism in addition to the information we collect to discover new species and threatened at the global level, it helps us to choose the areas that are vital to protecting the wildlife in places unique and irreplaceable.

All reservations are located within areas known as KBAs (Key Biodiversity Areas), and Also promote the training of young people in science for conservation.

Among the projects monitoring and research that we conducted in the ORGANISATION include:

Fototrampeo of mammals of the Ecological Corridor Llanganates-Sangay
Monitoring of amphibians as critically endangered (Atelopus palmatus and spumarius)
Monitoring of amphibians and birds in the CELS
Inventories, description of new species of wild fauna and flora (orchids, herpetofauna, rodents)

HOW CAN YOU DO RESEARCH WITH ECOMINGA?

The Fundación EcoMinga conducts research in our reserves, and the species that inhabit them. These spaces provide the ideal place for scientists, researchers, and students to learn more about conservation, biodiversity and methods of research in the field.

Within our 15 bookings we have a great diversity of ecosystems. At the same time, we provide opportunities for scientists and graduate students can continue with their investigations. We have a great knowledge on the biodiversity and the communities in the vicinity of our reserves, which, together with our experience in logistics and permitting of research, allows us to support and collaborate with different researchers in their projects.

So far we have supported numerous research projects in the reserves located in the Corridor of Connectivity Llanganates national park Sangay, booking Río Manduriacu and booking Dracula.
