The Mamoní Valley Preserve is a 5,000-hectare land conservancy in one of the top 25 Biodiversity Hotspots in the world.
Sobre nosotros
The Mamoní Valley Preserve is a 5,000-hectare (12,300-acre) land conservancy aspiring to geographically include the entire 11,710-hectare (29,000-acre)upper Mamoní watershed. It is located within the largest remaining stretch of contiguous rainforest in the exceptionally biodiverse Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena eco-region: one of the top 25 Biodiversity Hotspots in the world. Incredibly, it is a mere 2-hour drive from the Tocumen International Airport in Panama City. Since 2002, the Mamoní Valley Preserve has been lowering the Valley’s CO2 emissions by protecting an increasing amount of land from deforestation. The valley was being rapidly deforested, mainly for cattle ranching. At the original rate, the forest would have almost entirely disappeared by 2030. A conservative estimate concludes that without the efforts of the Mamoní Valley Preserve, the Valley would have 2,400 acres less of forest than it does today. Since its creation, The Mamoní Valley Preserve has prevented over 650,000 tons of CO2 emissions from deforestation, enormously benefiting global climate. The continued protection of the forest prevents future CO2 emissions and biodiversity loss. We are a small team of passionate individuals, working towards an ambitious vision of global impact.

This year, the theme of the International Day for Biological Diversity is “Be part of the Plan”. This is a call to action to encourage governments, indigenous peoples and local communities, non-governmental organizations, lawmakers, businesses, and individuals to highlight the ways in which they are supporting the implementation of the Biodiversity Plan. Everyone has a role to play and therefore can be #PartOfThePlan. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/efX5CMn
