tropical forest project: ecuador features acoustic versions of songs by established and emerging artists. The sleeve and booklet, printed on FSC certified paper, is illustrated with stunning photography of the landscapes and wildlife in the reserves. £2.50 from each CD sale will be used to extend the Jocotoco Reserves — every 10 CDs sold = 1 acre of ancient forest protected forever.
The Ecuador CD project has been created to protect wildlife in one of the most astonishingly biodiverse nations on Earth.
Over 1600 bird species - Up to 17% of the planet's total reside here.
Over 16000 plant species, including 4000 orchids, of which 1000 are unique to Ecuador.
The Cloud Forest of Mindo has the highest density of hummingbird species to be found anywhere.
Very little intact habitat remains, perhaps as little as 10% — many species here are classified as globally threatened. They exist nowhere else.
To secure the future of this world treasure a series of wildlife reserves has been established by Ecuadorian NGO Fundación Jocotoco, working in conjunction with UK charity World Land Trust (patron: Sir David Attenborough). £2.50 from each CD sale will be used to extend the Jocotoco Reserves — every 10 CDs sold = 1 acre of ancient forest protected forever.
