Born in Cuenca-Ecuador, founder Rina Guerrero-Kesler grew up surrounded by nature in the cloud forest of the majestics  Andes Mountains.  After finishing her undergrad  as Environmental Biologist, Rina moved to the US  and worked at the Atlanta Botanical Garden taking care of the Orchid Collection as well as helping with plant conservation projects in the southeast and other countries.  During the pandemia and  carrying on  her love for Nature  and her people, Rina decides to work for what she feels is her life purpose and  mission: to do what she can to minimise the amount of tropical forest  deforestation by serving  as a  bridge between her two countries.

 

With the creation of Ecuafriendly,  Rina will  empower local Ecuadorian artisans  to protect their natural surroundings  and also donate  10% of the net profit to “Fundación  Tierra Viva'' in their environmental conservation efforts.  More at: www.tierraviva.ec
