Members of the Orellana Recycling Association sorting through some of the 34 tonnes of waste that are produced every day by their town in the heart of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest. The group was supported by an MDG-F-funded programme to preserve the environment and improve the quality of life of communities in the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve, one of the world’s most biodiverse areas.
