Our Mission

Connecting tropical nature and sustainable livelihoods through habitat conservation and environmental education

Who We Are

Ceiba is dedicated to the conservation of tropical habitats and the promotion of sustainable livelihoods. We protect rare and endangered plants and animals, and bolster the value that tropical ecosystems provide to rural communities. Our strategy is to establish locally-operated nature reserves, promote public education, sponsor scientific research, promote and support community-based sustainability. We emphasize projects which promote the empowerment of local landowners and communities, and encourage them to actively participate in the sustainable management of their land. We work primarily in Ecuador, with an emphasis on the threatened coastal dry forests and the hyper-diverse cloud forests of the Andes.
