Save the Wild Jondachi River, the Gem of the Andes!

One of the most beautiful, wild and pristine rivers of the Ecuadorian Amazon faces destruction from “La Merced de Jondachi” Hydroelectric Project, which would dry out a majestic section of the river located in the UNESCO Sumaco Biosphere Reserve.

The project is being developed by Termopichincha S.A., an Ecuadorian energy company with no previous experience in hydropower projects

The Jondachi River is part of a unique watershed with impressive biodiversity. It flows through both private and communal lands that are home to 15 indigenous Kichwa communities that depend on the river for fishing and bathing.

The river is also a highly acclaimed world class kayaking destination. Recreational use of the Jondachi River helps sustain a tourism-based economy in the Napo province of the Ecuadorian Amazon.

 We need your help to stop this project.
Tell Termopichincha to leave the Jondachi River alone!
