"Touch The Jungle"

Playa de Oro Reserva de Tigrillos
Playa de Oro is a Rainforest Conservation Program located in Ecuador. The local people operate an eco-tourism program to protect their alloted 25,000 acres of pristine rainforest. This allows them to make a sustainable income while maintaining the rainforest without the need for selling out to big mining or timbering companies. This area is also the only Margay preserve on Earth, and boasts many other threatened and endangered species. Ocelots, jaguars, tropical birds, monkeys, etc.

This program is managed by volunteers in the USA and Canada who work as guides and project developers. You can explore there for 10 days very inexpensively and have a true rainforest adventure. 100% of the tour fees go to support the local sustainable ecotourism program.

National Wildlife Humane Society is a participating supporter of Touch The Jungle. Tracy Wilson, the Project Director for Touch The Jungle, is on the NWHS Wildlife Advisory Council.

Below is a video to see what it looks like there. Of course, no photos can truly capture the real beauty of this tropical environment. The Touch The Jungle program has now been expanded to an area in Ecuador called Intag, which is preserving 25,000 more acres of true pristine equatorial rainforest!
