Conservation and Preservation

In the present times, due to the current policies of the Ecuadorian president, Rafael Correa, not an adequate amount of money is being supplied to sustain the park and its rangers. Due to this, the operation of the park is mainly done by the many lodges that are based in the reserve. Also, many indigenous peoples do their part in helping sustain the reserve. Despite these people’s efforts, the Cuyabeno reserve is not prospering. The Ecuadorian president has even mentioned reducing the park and selling the land to private owners, most likely oil companies.
