A Dream that Takes Flight

The Foundation, in collaboration with the Tambo Condor Ecotourism Complex, has launched an exciting crowdfunding campaign called “Guardians of the Andes”.

This effort seeks to raise funds for the creation of an Environmental Education Center and a Self-Guided Ecological Trail dedicated to the Andean condor and the spectacled bear, two emblematic species that face serious threats in their natural habitat.

The campaign is active on the Givebutter platform, where those interested can contribute to this noble project.

Tambo Cóndor: A Refuge for Biodiversity

Tambo Condor is a family enterprise located 14km from Pintag, on the way to the Antisana volcano that stands out for its focus on sustainable ecotourism, where the Foundation, working together with them, and with the contribution of many entities and volunteers, we have planted 6,713 native trees and shrubs under a habitat restoration approach and to create an ecological corridor between Laguna De Secas and Cerro Yeguapamba.

Here, visitors can enjoy the natural beauty while learning about the importance of conserving local species and their ecosystems.

Invitation to Be Part of the Change

The “Guardians of the Andes” campaign aims not only to raise funds, but also to raise awareness about the conservation of the Andean condor and the spectacled bear.

Everyone is invited to visit the Givebutter page for more information about the project and how they can help.
