Update of Current Work
DECOIN was founded in January 1995 as a grass-roots environmental

area of northwestern Ecuador. The area is part of two of the world's most

About DECOIN
Every year, Ecuador loses another 2.3 percent of its forests
- it has the highest deforestation rate in South America.
In an effort to reverse the trend with local and regional
eco-activism, the grass-roots organization DECOIN was founded
in January of 1995.
DECOIN (Organizacion para la Defensa y Conservacion Ecologica
de Intag) is a regional organization created to battle perhaps
the greatest threat to the forests: the mining companies
that have thousands of acres of government-granted concessions
throughout the Intag.
