The Jorupe Forest Reserve is an approximately 2 sq. mile remnant of the rapidly disappearing Tumbesian Dry Forest of southern Ecuador. The forest is characterized by statuesque Ceiba trees and is home to many endemic plants and animals, including birds. The Jorupe Reserve was recently purchased by the Fundacion Jocotoco with the aid of donations from World Land Trust, American Bird Conservancy, and the Western Alliance for Nature Foundation. The reserve is home to the highly threatened endemic Henna-hooded Foliage-gleaner among others.
