We are a growing number of German and English Entrepeneurs committed to utilizing our collective skills, experience, knowledge, position and resources for the greater goal of environmental protection and improving the economic situation of the people protecting a nature reserve in Ecuador.

Our purpose is to actively contribute to the success of the Marine Nature Reserve Galera-San Francisco in the district of Esmeraldas in Ecuador. We believe that it is our duty to contribute and join those thousands of people doing their utmost to protect our environment around the world.

We are in a unique situation because of our relationships and path through life, that we are in a position to actively contribute and help protect an environmental hotspot in the region of Esmeraldas, Ecuador.

The Marine Nature Reserve between Galera and San Francisco was officially founded in 2008 resulting from an intense study by the marine biologist organisation the NAZCA Institute.  Together with their sponsors, partners and the Ecuadorian government, they strive to preserve fauna and flora below and above the oceans surface for future generations. 

The success or failure of the reserve depends largely on the citizens living within around its borders.  If they cannot sufficiently survive and live within the requirements of the environmental protection plan the reserve cannot be sustained long-term which adds to the environmental problems that we face worldwide.

The needs of the people of Esmeraldas are compared to ours basic: food in their stomachs, chances to earn a living so that their children can have a proper education and the possibility to improve their standard of living above poverty.

This is a rare and unique opportunity for YOU to help in a country that needs YOUR support and for YOU to compensate YOUR carbon footprint without It costing you a cent, dime or penny more than you would spend anyway!!!

So what do we do with the funds? We provide: equipment, training and basic infrastructure for the people living within  the reserve. We help them to build businesses and to use our skills and knowledge to grow their ability to earn their own money.

You see the people of Esmeraldas do not have the same starting blocks as we do in the developed world, most are illiterate but by learning to read and acquire knowledge they have much greater control over their lives. It is often the simple things that can make a difference.
