Ecuador

I spent four weeks in Ecuador, traveling through the cloud forests of Mindo, the lowland Chocó rainforest, the Amazon basin, and the Galápagos Islands. My time in the Chocó rainforest was spent at the Canandé Reserve, which is owned and managed by the conservation NGO Fundación Jocotoco, an organization that oversees 18 reserves throughout the country. In the Amazon basin, I worked exclusively in Yasuni National Park, where I collaborated with Tropical Herping to capture images for the upcoming field guide Reptiles of Ecuador.
