Our Story
Since the early 90’s we have worked with education, conservation, and scientific research, and since then, we have realized the potential forests have for social transformation. We have identified that forests and sustainable land management can contribute to human and social development through diverse educational methodologies.
This is why at the beginning of 2017 we got together with 7 private and community-based Forest Schools located in the Andean Choco’s territory, north-west of Ecuador, and created The Andean Choco’s Forest School Network (Red BESCHOCÓ).
MISSION
Transform society through place-based and experiential education in the forests of the Andean Chocó
VISION
That people of all ages reconnect with nature through educational experiences that promote conservation and a sustainable co-existence among all living beings on earth
OBJECTIVES
Influence local education in the Andean Choco’s territory, and
Strengthen the territorial identity of the Andean Choco’s people, through knowledge of their own wealth, as well as their natural and cultural diversity
Branches and Structure
The Andean Choco’s Forest School Network is divided into 3 branches that correspond to the ecosystem where each Forest School is located. If you want to see maps and know more about the Andean Choco’s bioregion ↓
