Sustainable Ecotourism Project for Birds of Prey Conservation and Environmental Education, Working with Indigenous Andean Community in Otavalo, Imbabura, Ecuador
Fundación Condor (Condor Foundation) created the Parque Condor (Condor Park) to promote its mission to protect, rehabilitate and reintroduce birds of prey—including Ecuador’s national symbol, the endangered Andean condor—to the wild. The park is situated on a beautiful site in northern Ecuador, in front of the Imbabura Volcano and near the well-known Indian market town of Otavalo. The Tourism Cares grant will be channeled toward working with the indigenous community to stimulate rural development and to promote sustainable ecotourism.
