About the Esmeraldes Forrest

The Esmeraldas forest is the largest forest or jungle in Ecuador outside of the Amazon. It is also shrinking faster than any other forest in South America. The forest starts in Ecuador and goes right into Colombia. It is full with life. The various communities are connected via rivers that all flow down into the Pacific. The agriculture is as abundant as it is varied in ecological micro-climates. The Esmeraldas forest is the last substantial forest left in Ecuador. All other forests in Ecuador have been destroyed and for this it is important we see its importance and protect it.
