The National Committee of The Netherlands
- The World Conservation Union (NC-IUCN) through its Small
Grants for the Purchase of Nature fund, provided the funding for Nature
and Culture International to purchase 1,680 hectares of endangered
tropical dry forest habitat to add to NCI's La Ceiba conservation
area. Since this purchase, NCI has purchased an adjacent property
to extend the reserve to over 10,000 ha, making La Ceiba the largest
private dry forest reserve in the Tumbesian region. NC-IUCN has also
provided funds to support the sustainable use of forest resources
at La Ceiba, through building the capacity of local communities to
manage and add value to non-forest products.
