The Biodiversity Group is proud to provide fiscal sponsorship to a network of conservationists working across the globe, at a published fee of 5% of the first $100,000 each year and 3% above that. Keeping our fee low means more of every donation reaches the field, and it lets us share tools, expertise, and resources our partners could not otherwise afford on their own. A true win-win!
Fundación Cóndor Andino is fiscally sponsored by The Biodiversity Group, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 20-3091062). Donations are made to The Biodiversity Group in support of Fundación Cóndor Andino’s conservation programs and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. The Biodiversity Group retains discretion and control over all contributions.
Fundación Cóndor Andino, Ecuador, is an Ecuadorian NGO, created in 2018 to give continuity to our Andean Condor Research Project, which began in 2012. Our organization focuses on understanding and conserving endangered species and ecosystems in Ecuador-one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. To do this we focus on highly endangered or emblematic species that can be considered “umbrella species”. This is a species that by understanding and conserving it we can understand and conserve the ecosystem where it inhabits and all other species that share that environment.
Our main research projects focus on the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) catalogued as Vulnerable (IUCN VU 2021) internationally and Endangered (EN) locally; the Black-and-Chestnut Eagle (Spizaetus isidori) catalogued as Endangered (IUCN EN) internationally and Critically Endangered (CR) locally, and the Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus) catalogued as Vulnerable (IUCN VU) internationally and Endangered (EN) locally. We also work in close coordination in the management of Rio Manduriacu Reserve, located in the Tropical Andes Biodiversity Hotspot, where we have discovered several new species of amphibians and rediscovered several species thought to be extinct.
