The Song of the Cloud Forest
Milton, a lonely golden toad whose species are on the verge of extinction, finds himself in two minds when he realizes that his only potential mate is in the captivity of a group of human beings.
The Cloud Forest
A small community in Veracruz is the guardian of one of the ecosystems facing the most risk: the cloud forest. By redesigning their needs, education and relationship with other people and with nature, they search for a simpler and sustainable life.
El Triunfo, Cloud Forest
El Triunfo was enacted in 1990 as a Biosphere Reserve and is located at the Sierra Madre of Chiapas, Mexico. The Cloud Forest is the last refuge for endemic and endangered species like the Green Aracari, the tapir, the jaguar, the quetzal, the puma, the peacock and over 2,000 species of mosses, plants and fungi that are not yet classified. All inhabit this forest comprised of 119,000 hectares.
Feathered Serpent
Throughout the centuries the quetzal has survived from its mythological symbolism in the Mexica and Maya pantheons to the fragile species that inhabit the cloud forests of Mesoamerica and Central America. Guatemalan photographer Ricky López studies the most important and mythological bird.
