Protecting the Amazon environment

Sani Isla is a location of outstanding natural beauty, boasting primary rainforest. This area is renowned for its diverse array of wildlife, surpassing any other site on the planet in this regard. Scientific research has identified the Yasuní region as the most biodiverse area on Earth, characterized by an exceptional abundance of species per unit area.

Sani Lodge was built with the aim of generating a sustainable revenue stream to underpin and enhance the Kichwa community, rather than seeing the beauty of our local environment destroyed by oil drilling.

The ongoing success of Sani Lodge enables us to contribute positively to our community and to protect our ancestral lands from any encroachment on our natural rainforest.

We strongly believe that sustainable tourism is achievable while limiting the negative impacts on both our community and the lodge itself. In order to achieve this goal, we have created several conservation programmes that benefit us and the surrounding communities, and these conservation policies are not limited to the lodge, but are practised throughout the community. We are constantly striving to improve ourselves so that we can live sustainably and be one with the forest.

Sani Lodge and Sani Warmi are emblematic projects in the South American Amazon and a global reference for tropical forest conservation. Together we have managed to combine sustainability, community work and tourism in a responsible way.
