The San Miguel Eco Project is owned and run by the people of San Miguel; a small afro-ecuadorean village situated in dense rainforest in Northwest Ecuador. The project has three core aims:

- To develop eco-tourism as a non destructive source of income for the community.

- To provide a model of sustainable development for other communities in the region.

- To improve educational opportunities and increase the study and awareness of the rainforests of Western Ecuador.
