On 24th July, Rainforest Concern's Mauricio Bustamante received our 
second Declaration of Protected Forest Status (Bosque Protector) for the
 Neblina Reserve from Ecuador's Minister of the Environment, SeƱor 
Tarsicio Granizo. This brings the total area of Neblina legally 
recognised as protected forest to nearly 4,200 acres (1,700 hectares).
Over 100 people attended the event.
