Why we work with them

Situated in the Choco Forest Mashpi is aware of its unique position and the huge biodiversity that lies within its own private reserve. The conservation of this reserve and the greater Choco Forest is the driving force behind the lodge, its’ design and its outreach work.

They have also recognised the importance of the local community in this endevour. Many of the biologists and guides with tell of how they used to be hunters and poachers but now find themselves acting as guardians of the forest. Mashpi also has an initiative in place where the local community not only work and thrive off the lodge but over time can also become shareholders, ensuring a long lasting relationship between the lodge, the surrounding nature and local community.
