Reserva: The Youth Land Trust

Reserva: The Youth Land Trust, Inc. is a youth-led organization that works to bridge the gap between youth environmental activism and traditional biodiversity conservation. Founded by Callie Broaddus and a team of international youth-led by Bella Lack in 2019, Reserva embarked on a flagship project to create the world's first entirely youth-funded nature reserve—a breathtaking patch of cloud forest in the Ecuadorian Chocó. Reserva is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit with a mission to empower young people to make a measurable difference for threatened species and habitats through conservation, education, and storytelling.
