Yasuni the Ecuadoran Amazon
Yasuni National Park, the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, is a special place. Considered one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth it boasts 655 species of trees, 173 species of mammals, 610 species of birds and over 4,000 plant species. One hectare of the area is richer in tree species than the entirety of the United States and Canada combined. In addition, two indigenous tribes, the Tagaeri and the Taromenane, live in voluntary isolation within the Park borders. Oil exploitation in the park in an ever increasing threat to both the human and animal residents of this still pristine region of the Amazon rainforest.
