Rainforest Rehabilitation & Climate Change Mitigation

Third Millennium Alliance (3MAlliance) is a nonprofit Ecosystem Services organization. Our focus is the restoration of critically-endangered ecosystems of exceptionally high ecological and biological value. The basis of our work is a dual approach that integrates conservation of intact forest with reforestation of previously-degraded land, particularly through agroforestry. The Choco-Manabi Corridor in western Ecuador - one of the most ecologically-diverse and endangered ecosystems on the planet - is our area of operations. 3MAlliance's Jama-Coaque Reserve protects one of the last remnants of rainforest in this global biodiversity hotspot.

We are in the process of launching a carbon offset project that would finance the conservation and reforestation of 7,500 acres of rainforest in the Camarones River Basin, adjacent to the Jama-Coaque Reserve.

June 1: The new Jama-Coaque Blog, operated exclusively by 3MAlliance interns, is now up and running at 3malliance.wordpress.com

April 27: The Ecuadorian Ministry of the Environment wants to declare the Jama-Coaque Reserve a “Bosque Protector,” which is akin to a “national park” except that the reserve continues to be privately owned – in this case, by Third Millennium Alliance. With this designation, both the Ecuadorian government and Third Millennium Alliance are legally bound to protect this rainforest in perpetuity.
