Andean Chocó

What is it and why protect it?

The Chocó Andino is one of the last forests in Quito and is located in the northwest of the city.

This forest has been declared by UNESCO as the seventh biosphere reserve in Ecuador.
This area is where the water that feeds the rivers that flow towards the north coast of Ecuador is born.
Its soils provide natural food to Quito, Pedro Vicente Maldonado, Los Bancos, Mindo, among others.
In this forest, at least 266,000 tons of carbon are removed from the atmosphere annually, which helps reduce global warming.
