Ceiba Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Chicago, IL, dedicated to connecting people and nature through the conservation of tropical species and habitats. With a focus on Ecuador's coastal forests and orchid-rich mountains, Ceiba works to protect these threatened ecosystems by promoting sustainable land stewardship and establishing locally-operated nature reserves. Through their study abroad programs, students can embark on educational adventures in pristine tropical locales, benefiting from Ceiba's 20 years of conservation experience and the academic quality of the University of Wisconsin.
By supporting Ceiba, individuals contribute to the preservation of critically threatened forests in Ecuador's Pacific coast and the Andes, as well as the research conducted by scientists, volunteers, and researchers from around the world. Ceiba's efforts aim to ensure that communities not only benefit from ecosystem services like clean water but also improve their lives and livelihoods. With a focus on conservation, research, and community development, Ceiba Foundation is committed to protecting nature and fostering sustainable relationships between humans and the environment.
