This Project consists of the creation of a private reserve in a 8 hectares patch of cloudforest in the locality of Cohuatichan, Cuetzalan, in the North Sierra of Puebla.

The sanctuary aims to protect 17 species of native amphigians, including Cuetzalan Salamander, an endemic and critically endangered amphibian which is also our flag species.

We hope that we can expand the size of the sanctuary in the future and connect it with other protected areas in the region, creating a biological corridor of cloud forest.

The Cuetzalan Cloudforest Amphibian Sanctuary is funded by The World Land Trust and has been also supported by the Foundation for the Conservation of Salamanders (FCSal).
