Amazon Extension
Years of close cooperation with the Aangu community has produced the Napo Wildlife Center, an innovative project that is as remarkable for its comforts as it is for its conservation and social value. The protected area is home to such species as the Jaguar, Giant Otter, Tapir, eleven species of monkeys (including acrobatic Spider and Wooly monkeys, Monk Saki, and Golden-mantled Tamarin), and many brilliant bird species. Here the local Aangu community has teamed up with international conservationists to create a private reserve of over 50,000 acres within the Yasuni National Park.
