About Limoncocha
Limoncocha Biological Reserve protects a black-water lake ecosystem in the Ecuadorian Amazon, recognized as a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance. The Limoncocha Lagoon is a former oxbow of the Napo River and supports an extraordinary concentration of Amazonian wildlife including spectacled caimans, anacondas, river dolphins, and over 300 bird species. The reserve is shared with the Siona indigenous community and surrounded by oil production infrastructure, making conservation particularly challenging.
