Chandia Na'en project
The Chandia Na'en site is the Cofan nation in the Ecuadorian Tropical Andean biodiversity hotspot. This site has approximately 30 families and is a traditional community, using modern high-tech tools to protect and preserve their forest against illegal mining and logging incursions.
The Cofán are a proud and strong nation that has preserved their cultural heritage, rare languages, and intact jungle despite intense surrounding economic pressure. We’re very happy to be partnered with them and their youth which are climate activists par excellence.
