Omaere Activities 2009

Members of the Foundation wish to openly thank Teresa Shiki and Chris Canaday for all their work all these years. The Omaere Park is still alive thanks to their patience and efforts. Gracias! Merci ! Thank you!

In the past 5 years, after recovering the Omaere Park, a new Shuar house was constructed. A small replica of a Shuar house was also built in the entrance, where guides give an introduction to new visitors, and where they currently explain about the Waorani.

Other houses, nurseries and trails have been repaired or rebuilt. The entrance fence and gate at the entrance of the Park (about 30 meters), were replaced.

The Omaere herbarium, along with multiple photos, has been donated to the Catholic University in Quito. The University herbarium agrees to clearly mark these collections as a donation from Omaere.
