Living Forests and Indigenous Origins.
Shared Futures and Purpose. We are developing an in-situ cacao biodiversity research station where Indigenous partnerships, sustainable agroforestry enterprise and purposeful travel converge and grow together.
A place to understand the forest. A reason to keep it standing.
Ekobius International is a cooperative initiative on 27.4 acres beside the Catañiapo River. We are bringing our next chapter into focus: a field base for cacao research, collaboration with Piaroa producers and stays that contribute to the source of biodiversity. Ekobius also remains an intentional community for people who want to live and participate in its shared development.

Meet the Initiative
More than a destination. A place to take part.
The proposed station connects time in the forest with useful work: observing trees, growing seedlings, improving harvest handling and listening to the people who know the landscape.
Life at the StationBegin with the plants.
Meet four priorities for the proposed research and forest-product programs. Field identification and inventories are still to be documented.
