Your Impact

By adopting a microplot, you directly protect rainforest that is threatened by logging, agriculture, and mining. Your contribution secures this land as part of a permanent conservation corridor, safeguarded by local rangers and supported through community involvement.

Each adoption also strengthens our scientific work at the field station, where we monitor species, document ecosystem changes, and gather data essential for long-term conservation planning.

Your microplot becomes a lasting refuge for biodiversity—one that continues to provide habitat, stability, and ecological value for generations.

1. The Seedling Plot – 1 m²

A symbolic yet powerful first step into rainforest conservation. Perfect for first-time supporters, students, or as a meaningful ecological gift. You can also keep adding small plots to create a cumulative impact.

2. The Canopy Starter – 10 m²

A small but impactful step toward forest protection. Helps secure intact habitat for pollinators, understory plants, and small forest birds. A practical way to begin building your own protected microplot.

3. The Forest Edge Pack – 25 m²

Ideal for donors who want to make a clearly measurable impact. Your contribution strengthens buffer zones against logging pressure and supports ranger patrol routes around vulnerable forest edges.

4. The Understory Guardian – 50 m²

Protects habitat critical for amphibians, insects, reptiles, and shade-dependent plants. This bundle supports long-term biodiversity monitoring within your adopted area and helps maintain ecological connectivity between microplots.

5. The Corridor Builder – 100 m²

Creates meaningful connectivity between forest fragments. Your support enhances research capacity, enables camera-trap and acoustic monitoring, and strengthens community-led conservation efforts in the surrounding landscape.

6. The Watershed Protector – 250 m²

Safeguards the hydrological stability of the region.
This bundle protects streams, microhabitats, and soil structure while supporting advanced ecological research and sustained ranger presence.

7. The Rainforest Legacy Reserve – 500 m²

A major contribution to long-term land security.
This adoption expands legally protected areas, fortifies ranger infrastructure, supports scientific programs at the Kolibry field station, and provides lasting habitat for species found nowhere else on Earth.

The Golden Acre Reserve – 10,000 m²

A landmark conservation commitment. Protects a full acre of primary rainforest, preserving an entire micro-ecosystem of canopy trees, water systems, and wildlife. This level of support expands legally protected land, fortifies ranger operations, and enables high-resolution scientific research across a meaningful landscape unit.

Adopting a microplot allows you to protect real, threatened rainforest in Ecuador. Each plot you adopt becomes part of a legally secured conservation corridor safeguarded by our local rangers and monitored by scientists at the Kolibry field station. Your support prevents logging, mining, and agricultural conversion, while enabling biodiversity research, community-driven protection, and long-term ecological monitoring.

Choose the size of your microplot and protect habitat for species found nowhere else in the world. Every square meter matters—and the bundles below help you select the conservation impact that best reflects your commitment.

Bundle Overview

Our Certificates — the perfect Gift

Finally, a meaningful gift for naturalists and nature enthusiasts. If you're tired of materialism, give something with real impact: a conservation certificate that protects habitat and biodiversity. You’re not just giving a piece of paper—you’re sharing a legacy.

Each certificate includes the name, coordinates, and area of your protected plot. It also highlights charismatic species recorded near your plot—species whose survival you directly support. Because these species are identified based on your plot’s exact location, every certificate can be truly unique.

How can I begin to describe my time with Poveda... It was simply life-changing! I always imagined that Bali would be a breathtaking destination, but thanks to Poveda, I was able to not just experience the culture, but have once-in-a-lifetime memories. I got so much more than I ever anticipated from my holiday.
