Reserve expanded by 48.5 acres!

We are extremely proud to tell you that the reserve has been expanded by 48.5 acres! And it is not just any expansion, it is finally the connection between the reserve of Adopt Rainforest and Barbilla National Park that we have been working towards for so long.

48.5 hectares, that’s almost 100 soccer fields and a 20% growth! The reserve is now 275.4 acres, even 284.6 acres with the research center included. Don Misangel gladly sold this piece of land where he has lived for 42 years to us because he knows we will take good care of it. During the negotiations, he talked about the times he had seen the jaguar and other beautiful nature experiences. Now that the land bridge with the National Park has been restored, we cannot wait for the return of the critically endangered jaguar to our reserve. Hopefully, we will eventually be able to share the first trapcam images of this king of the jungle!
