Amazonian Ecuador Conservation Photography
Macro Photography
The treasure that awaits is worth it. The Achuar people who live in this remote (an understatement) reach of the Amazon rainforest are fighting to protect it.
This is also the most biodiverse region on Earth. Judging from data from nearby localities, hundreds of species of frog, snake, and bird are to be found in one spot the size of a shopping mall. Thousands of species of insects (not the biting or stinging kind!) are also waiting your discovery. The Achuar people have made this place their home for millennia. Hunting and farming only for sustenance by a people living at a low population density has meant that the forest and its inhabitants have remained intact and thriving….until now.
Terrific pictures, we don't have something like that here. I am following you now.
Such a great country, Ecuador!
