La Pedregoza Natural Reserve is established for the conservation of native tropical tree species and the preservation of endangered wildlife in the Orinoco basin. Located strategically along a major river, it provides refuge for animals moving between El Tuparro National Park and the natural reserves of Nimajay and Bojonawi.

Green Orinoco iguana.Conservation Programs
We are dedicated to the conservation of native tree species and their propagation. This requires the collection of seeds of at-risk tropical trees and and their propagation.

Conservation of native tree species is important for the preservation of endangered animals, birds and fish. It expands their habitat and provides food and shelter for wildlife adapted to a specific niche in the riparian or inundation forest. This unique eco-system is visited by numerous migratory birds from North America. Our natural reserve provides a shelter for both flora and fauna.
