Description: The Contamos Contigo Ecuador Foundation is an NGO that dedicates its main efforts to the conservation and protection of Ecuador's native marine fauna, as well as its natural environment. We work to protect the environment from pollution by plastics and other waste generated by humans, and to raise awareness among people so that they make sustainable use of the planet's resources. At the Contamos Contigo Ecuador Foundation, we know that the defense of the Environment and Marine Fauna must be carried out at all levels, which is why our activities cover a wide spectrum of action, generating synergies that bring together all our efforts to achieve the goal of improving our environmental surroundings. -We organize courses, conferences and all kinds of activities related to promotion, dissemination, advice, protection, and research. -We communicate and disseminate research results in order to increase knowledge about threatened or endangered species of wild flora and fauna. -We provide advice and monitoring regarding information or reports of species and ecosystems that are important for conservation.
