Our Amazon Conservation Project
The Amazon Conservation Project is dedicated to preserving the unique ecosystem of the Cuyabeno rainforest. Through sustainable practices and community involvement, it helps protect wildlife, habitats, and local culture while supporting a healthier planet.
“For me, nature isn’t just a job, it’s a passion. I’ve spent my life exploring the Amazon, and I love sharing my knowledge and excitement about this incredible ecosystem with every guest at Cuyabeno Wildlife Center.”
Giving Back to Nature & Community
Founded by experienced local guides, the project shows how responsible Cuyabeno tours can benefit both the rainforest and its people. By working with indigenous communities, it provides sustainable jobs, supports education and healthcare, and ensures tourism directly contributes to conservation.
A portion of every tour and activity you book with Cuyabeno Wildlife Center is reinvested into preserving habitats, protecting animals, and funding environmental education programs. This way, your visit creates real impact beyond the adventure itself.
Conservation Today for a Better Tomorrow
Eco Choices That Matter
Solar Panel Energy
The lodge uses solar panels to generate electricity, reducing the need for fuel and lowering environmental impact.
Grease Traps
Water from the kitchen first passes through grease traps that remove oils, fats, and food solids.
Greywater Treatment
After filtering, wastewater flows into a natural treatment system that prepares it for safe reuse.
Biodigester System
Inside the biodigester, natural bacteria break down organic waste and clean the water without chemicals.
Composting & Sludge Treatment
Solid waste from the system is composted and treated in a controlled way, returning nutrients to the soil.
Water Reuse
Once treated, the water is safely used for irrigation instead of being released directly into the forest.
What Needs Protecting
The Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve spans over 603,000 hectares of pristine Amazon rainforest, wetlands, and rivers. It’s home to endangered species like pink river dolphins and giant otters, and provides vital ecosystem services including carbon capture, water filtration, and soil conservation.
At Cuyabeno Wildlife Center, our conservation work focuses on preventing illegal hunting, deforestation, and other threats while ensuring local communities benefit from tourism sustainably. By traveling with us, you help protect this incredible part of the Amazon for future generations.
