Goal: The goal of Las Gralarias Foundation Inc. is to raise funds for projects and programs of Reserva Las Gralarias, located in the parish of Mindo, Ecuador, including the purchase of adjacent and nearby lands that will enhance protection for rare endemic birds, plants and other animals as well as supports reserve management, reforestation efforts, biological research, environmental education projects, scholarships, and appropriate tourism programs.

 

Background: Through the Las Gralarias Foundation, Tim has been able to work with many dedicated conservationists to raise funds to purchase over 1,000 acres in Ecuador.  The purchase of property in this area has enabled Tim and his research team to study the richly diverse and exciting ecosystem in this part of the world.  Las Gralarias Foundation is continuing to raise money for additional land purchases to expand their conservation efforts.
