Un poco del Chocó

Un poco del Chocó is a private conservation project in the Northwest of Ecuador which was founded in 2009 by a German Biologist and her Ecuadorian husband. While the 15 hectares nature reserve contributes to the conservation of the endangered Chocó-habitat, the biological station promotes education and research. Un poco del Chocó is home to over 270 different bird species, as well as White-fronted Capuchin monkeys, armadillos, agoutis and even ocelots and pumas.
A major aim of Un poco del Chocó is the conservation of the remaining rainforest around the reserve. Therefore we work in environmental education, participate in local conservation workshops and support sustainable land-use. We are very happy to receive volunteers who want to support our conservation work.
Furthermore, Un poco del Chocó offers biology students the opportunity to conduct biological field studies in the reserve or to enrich their studies with a professionally supervised internship abroad.
