Environmental Research and Education
Relictum Conservation is an organization committed to nature conservation and sustainable development in Ecuador. We work alongside local initiatives in the country's four natural regions—the Coast, the Andes, the Amazon, and the Galapagos—because we believe that the most significant and lasting impact comes from the community. Based on this vision, we develop projects that promote research, volunteering, environmental education, local products, cultural workshops, and more.
Why Relictum?
Relictum, meaning " relict " in Latin, represents those ecosystems and species that have survived time and environmental changes, and whose protection is essential.
