Rainforest Conservation

La Selva has become a private reserve, and thanks to the contracts that have been signed with the community of Pilchi, hunting has been greatly reduced and they are requested to avoid cutting down trees. La Selva pays a monthly sum of cash, plus "work projects" such as construction, sewing centers, sanitary facilities, schools, health care, transportation and much more in exchange for the use of the land that borders La Selva.

CONSERVATION PROJECTS

From its beginnings 25 years ago, La Selva has embarked on a journey of outreach and community service to Pilchi and other communities along the Napo River, as well as projects that directly aid the planet in the true spirit of ecotourism. One of them is our "Plastic Project"

The "new" La Selva will use solar panels to provide electricity at night time. In addition the new cabins will be constructed with fast growing bamboo from plantations.
