💥 GOOD NEWS! We just found Lepanthes chrysina near illegal mining damage at Dracula Reserve. It's an #endangeredspecies not seen since 1991, first population in N. Ecuador. It should be protected from mining under EC's Constitutional #RightsofNature. 📸 Marco Monteros / EcoMinga

📰 We are excited to share some long-awaited news: The paperwork is complete, and Dracula Reserve has grown by 1,050 acres! 🌴 Hundreds of youth donated or fundraised for this project, an expansion to the world's first youth-funded reserve and the wider Dracula corridor. 💚

We photographed this Buff-tailed coronet during a baseline bird study last month at Dracula Reserve. After collecting data on the bird's size, weight, and health, we snapped a few quick photos and released it back into the forest! 🌴 📸 @calliebroaddus #birding

Creatures of the night at Dracula Reserve! 🔦 Can you ID any of these incredible invertebrates? Fun fact: We always keep our boots resting upside down on sticks overnight to avoid any unwanted visitors on our toes! 🦂 📸 @calliebroaddus #invertebrates #biodiversity

Here's the good news: 💚 Gen Z is the first generation to list the environment as one of their top 3 priorities 🤙 Millenial giving has grown 40% since 2016 🤷‍♀️ Can't afford to give? Charities benefit from your time, talent, passion, and story! 🐣 Every gift makes a difference.
