Santa Lucia Cloud Forest Reserve,

The Santa Lucia Cloudforest reserve is located about 80 km north west of Quito, in the province of Pichincha. Rainforest Concern works with the Santa Lucia co-operative, a community-based conservation organisation dedicated to conservation and to sustainable development so that they can make a modest living whilst conserving their remaining cloud forest. The community owns 730 hectares (over 1300 acres) of montane cloud forest, of which about 80% is still in its prime, virgin state and the area has now been declared part of a Bosque Protector (Protected Forest).
Please go to the Santa Lucia website for more information.
