Yasuní, the largest protected area in continental Ecuador, preserves an impressive biodiversity in the heart of the Amazonian tropical rainforest and protects part of the territory of the Waorani nationality. In Yasuní, surprising biodiversity figures have been reported for various groups of flora and fauna, never before recorded in any protected area.
Here we find hundreds of species of trees, wide rivers that overflow with torrential rains and large animals such as the jaguar, the anaconda and the harpy eagle.
We also find very small beings, such as the lion or pocket monkey, the smallest primate in the world, and a great variety of reptiles and amphibians that place this park among the most biodiverse in the world.
The human side of the Yasuní is also full of surprises. The Tagaeri and Taromenane, Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation, live within the park. To protect them and the biodiversity of Yasuní, the Tagaeri-Taromenane Intangible Zone was created in 1999. The Yasuní National Park, the Intangible Zone and the adjacent Waorani territory were declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1989.
