Beneath the Treetops

An expanded documentary exploration of the Ecuadorian Amazon

Underneath the canopies, it teems with beautiful existences. In the most biodiverse country in the world, the jungle is always awake, and life is abundant. Due to humanity’s footprint, Earth's canopies are in danger, as the forest is chipping away. Oil and timber extraction, agricultural expansion, and other detrimental practices continue to harm the local environment while pushing countless species to go extinct. I entered the Ecuadorian Amazon as an outsider, and created this series in response to the trees echoes of warning, hoping to honor and immortalize fleeting moments beneath the treetops.
