In Ecuador’s Alto Ila, a 32-hectare farm called El Picaflor rescues and cultivates endangered tree species. Seeds are collected in the forest, germinated and replanted on degraded land.
The Agriculture Ministry calls the site a living laboratory after 50 years of logging. Drought and climate change have disrupted natural regeneration.
The government recognises the work, but organisers receive no direct funding. Environmental groups warn that a ministry merger could shift conservation priorities.
Community seed banks aim to rebuild biodiversity and support long-term forest recovery.
