"On September 20th, 2023, a large crowd gathered to celebrate in the northern
Ecuadorian province of Esmeraldas. Surrounded by the joyful energy of marimba
music, traditional dances, and colorful clothing, an agreement was signed into
law. The cause for celebration: Esmeraldas’ provincial government had
officially established the Ecuadorian Chocó Tropical Forest: “Camino del
Jaguar” Conservation and Sustainable Use Area, which protects 528,207 acres
(213,758 hectares) of some of Ecuador’s most biodiverse and threatened forests.
The new area represents a sign of hope not only for the region’s ecosystems but
also for an improved quality of life for the over 12,000 families living within
the new conservation area."
