Ecuador is a country of high biodiversity, home to 91 terrestrial ecosystems and about 18,198 species of vascular plants, of which more than a quarter are endemic. It is one of the 17 megadiverse countries in the world, containing 6% of global biodiversity in only 0.2% of the earth's surface.
Local productive systems, such as the “chakras” in the Amazon and Sierra, are fundamental for the conservation and use of biodiversity. These ancestral practices allow interaction with natural ecosystems, conserving wild and cultivated species.
The project focuses on the indigenous communities of Imbabura and Napo, promoting the conservation of wild and cultivated species through sustainable practices and the transmission of ancestral knowledge. The project aims to implement policies and tools that respect cultural and gender diversity, prioritizing community consultation and participation, promote the use of wild and cultivated species, integrating traditional agricultural practices, train communities in the management and protection of their knowledge of biodiversity, and develop training in national and international instruments that support conservation and sustainable use.
