Biodiversity powers our world.
Let's protect it together.
The Savia Foundation, is a U.S.-based non-profit organization established in 2024. We are a group of storytellers, conservationists, scientists and lawyers who use our expertise to document, protect and defend biodiversity through land protection and restoration, photographic and videographic storytelling, and education and species monitoring.
We work with local stakeholders to foster sustainable, harmonic relationships between humans and the environment.
Our Biggest Program:
Protecting Andean Cloud Forest
in Eastern Ecuador.
The Chontayacu Reserve is a 250-acre (100-hectare) privately-protected area in the cloud forest of Ecuador, on the Eastern slopes of the Andes. Nestled between Cayambé-Coca and Sumaco Napo-Galeras national parks, it lies where the the Andes mountains meet the humidity of the Amazon.
