John,
Together we can save a wild mountain wilderness so unique it holds nearly
half of Argentina’s entire biodiversity – a spectacular place where giant
anteaters lumber through misty forests and rare eagles soar above hidden
valleys.
Loggers and ranchers are sharpening their chainsaws and plotting to
bulldoze the Yungas forest. Their plan? Turn this breathtaking wilderness
into pastureland, erasing decades of ecological complexity in the blink of
an eye. But right now, we have a chance to stop them – for good.
Working with our partner Rainforest Trust, we can help buy and
protect forever nearly 12,000 acres of this place – immediately ending a
logging license, and blocking the re-opening of an old access road that
would tear open the whole area. AND we can keep up Ekō’s campaigns to
protect wild places like this everywhere from corporate exploitation.
Can you help these wild creatures keep their home?

The Yungas is critical for biodiversity in South America. The area is a
sanctuary for vulnerable Giant Anteaters, a refuge for Azaras's Capuchin
monkeys, and a last stronghold for endemic frogs that exist nowhere else
on Earth.
But only 8% of the area is currently protected. Agriculture and logging
are eating away at this wilderness. And a critical gap has been identified
– a ‘land bridge’ between two existing parks that would create an unbroken
path spanning 229,538 acres for wildlife to live and travel safely. These
11,900 acres are especially well preserved due to inaccessibility –
they’re only reachable by boat.
But with an old road set to re-open and a timber concession granted, time
is running out. That’s why Rainforest Trust and local partners Fundación
Rewilding Argentina are working to buy the land and in the process shut
down these plans to exploit the Yungas and threaten its irreplaceable
wildlife.
We can help save this entire ecosystem from destruction. And fuel Ekō’s
own campaigns to protect ecosystems around the world from exploitation.
Can you help?
