The Mamoní River valley’s rainforest communities are difficult to access, and suffer from a lack of investment. Even so, they are rich in natural resources, resilient, and adaptable. Together—and given the right opportunity and resources—the communities of Mamoní and Madroño can be part of the healing of the rainforest. We can strengthen the biological corridor, restore wetlands, protect the forest and the upper Mamoní River Basin… in a way that increases our quality of life and enriches the land for future generations.
