The calculation of carbon reserves in forests: an essential mechanism to create incentives for the conservation of ecosystems
Capturing CO2 emissions through forest conservation is a solution that individuals, companies, and countries can leverage to address climate change
Sounds of the Forest: Between Technology and Human Experience
In an increasingly digitalized world, we have become disconnected from nature and diminished our intention to seek connection with it. However, it is possible to harness technology itself to disseminate and share the stories of the natural world and reconnect with it from a perhaps unconventional perspective: sound.
Transporting ourselves from A to B requires efficiency and responsibility, but it must remain sustainable.
Fortunately, there are alternatives to vehicle transport, but realistically we won’t be able to replace all vehicles in one shot. If we see this as a personal responsibility towards sustainability, understanding private vehicle transport can also contribute to reducing our environmental footprint. We just need to adjust our sails a bit.

Maximizing what lies at a distance of 150,000,000 Km
The closest star to Earth, and well known by all of us, can also help us mitigate CO2 emissions. It’s not as complicated as it sounds.
Watching the Andean Chocó 24/7 and with Stunning Results
Understanding tropical diversity requires technological support provided by camera traps. Documenting the forest is as important as protecting it.
How a Southern nightingale-wren can teach a thing or two about time
One, two, three, four…one, two, three, four… Keeping time as we sing or
dance to one of our favorite songs is something we do every day (most of
the time unconsciously).
Tropical serendipity! A new species in our Reserve
Scientific research is a fundamental pillar of the Mashpi Lodge project, which has had a permanent resident biologist at work in our reserve since 2009.
Empowerment through what human beings love most, food
