Things to see and do Parque Nacional Yasuni

Recognized by scientists as one of the world's largest biodiversity reserves, Yasuní Natural Park has more than 640 varieties of trees. This park has been declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. It is also the birthplace of the Huaorani people, authentic warriors who live in self-sufficiency. The foreseeable impacts of oil activity in the park are pollution, deforestation, destruction of the social fabric, extinction of crops... Thus, the Yasuni-ITT initiative aims to protect the park by avoiding oil extraction and by finding other energy sources that do not have negative impacts on the environment.
