Fundación Sobrevivencia Cofan

The Fundación para la Sobrevivencia del Pueblo Cofán (FSC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the Cofan indigenous culture and its rainforest environment. Together with its US-based counterpart, the Cofan Survival Fund and the Federación Indígena de la Nacionalidad Cofán del Ecuador (FEINCE), FSC supports an array of conservation and development work in all seven Cofán communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon. FSC´s projects are focused on biodiversity conservation and research, procuring legal rights and protection for ancestral Cofan territory, the development of environmentally-sound income alternatives, and educational opportunities for young Cofan students.
