The project, a collaboration between TCCC and TNC, implemented forest conservation activities on 159 ha in the Daule River watershed of Ecuador to protect the forest and associated ecosystem services, including water supply. The forests in this watershed are very important to ensure water availability during the dry seasons, yet they are under threat from deforestation due to agriculture and grazing. Land on other properties in the area has experienced degradation; if the project property is not protected, similar degradation will occur. A conservation agreement with the owner of the property has been signed to ensure protection of the forest. No type of forest conversion, timber extraction, fires, or hunting will be allowed in the area.
