Ecuador's Minister of Tourism visits Buenaventura Reserve (Ecuador) 

Recognising the wealth of wildlife protected by Fundación Jocotoco Reserves, Ecuador's Minister of Tourism, Veronica Sion de Josse, together with her husband and son, recently visited the Buenaventura Reserve.

This year's tree planting activities are in full swing at the reserve and as well as helping plant some tree seedlings, the minister and her family were captivated by the webcam, strategically placed in front of a hummingbird feeder. As can be seen in the photo, the visitors enjoyed watching not only the multitude of birds coming to the feeders but also a group of coatis, who frequently turn up to feast on bananas and other fruit.
