Ecuador Where We Work Approximately 98% of Ecuador’s coastal forest has already been lost. It is one of the most endangered tropical ecosystems on earth. The Jama-Coaque Reserve (JCR) protects one of the last major remnants of rainforest and cloud forest in this critically-threatened region. JCR is located in the heart of the Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena Biodiversity hotspot, about 10 km south of the equator line and 5 km inland from the Pacific Ocean.
