Conserving and Restoring Forest Ecosystems
Cambugán Foundation seeks to conserve and restore forest ecosystems. Through scientific research and community work, we aim to build sustainable development models that combine the preservation of natural environment and a decent life of the communities connected with it.
About the Cambugán Watershed
The watershed of the Cambugán River is located in the western Andean mountain range, about 50 km north of Quito, the capital of Ecuador, and just 15 km north of the equator. The area belongs to the municipality of San José de Minas.
Who We Are
Our multi-level approach to rainforest conservation includes education, research, promoting local communities and making land purchases. In 2000, the Foundation purchased its first areas of land inside the Watershed through donations from its members.
Get Involved
The organization is open to receiving new members from any country who share our passion for forest restoration and sustainable community development. We are also happy to talk to you about local Ecuador volunteering opportunities or other ways to get involved.
