Our Conservation Partners
Blue Mountain Arts
Blue Mountain Arts is an innovative
publishing company in Boulder, Colorado, and has provided unrestricted
support to NCI's core conservation programs that preserve endangered
ecosystems and species, while supporting traditional cultures. They
have also supported the conservation of the watershed forests that
provide the drinking water of Loja and other municipalities in southern
Ecuador. In this project, NCI has purchased priority lands in the
watersheds, and the local governments have committed funds for their
protection and management through a tax on water users for the ecosystem
services provided by these watersheds.
