A rare Ecuadorian hummingbird, with only 150–200 left, survives in a small protected reserve threatened by farming and grazing.
The Black-breasted puffleg, a 9-centimeter hummingbird found only in Ecuador’s Andes, clings to survival with just 150 to 200 individuals in the Yanacocha Reserve, a protected cloud forest near Quito.
The bird’s narrow habitat—between 3,000 and 3,500 meters—faces threats from agriculture and grazing.
Established 25 years ago by the Jocotoco Foundation, the reserve is critical to preserving not only this endangered species but the broader Andean ecosystem.
Conservationists stress the urgency of habitat restoration amid ongoing human pressures.
