Pyramids Ecuador - Cochasquí / unedited [00:28]
Pyramids in Ecuador - open to public. The entire compound was - until recently - owned by a single family. It is currently under the care of the government of Ecuador and open to the public. The "main" or "most central" structure was dug up (in a most unprofessional way / utterly destroyed) before the family gave the property over to the government of Ecuador. When asked if they found anything the family member in question became nervous and skirted the question. Laughing we can openly discuss the gold they must have unearthed. Officially no gold was found. Nonetheless artifacts did/do? abound in and around this site. On a personal note, highly relevant archaeological sites abound everywhere we have dug in Ecuador. "Grave?" sites along the coast near Bahia have been approximately 30 meters deep. Other pyramids look like those featured in these videos - earthen mounts or hills, covered in vegetation.

Working On Environmental Conservation Projects Abroad updated [14:17]
Victoria Rouse from GreenFORCE speaking at Year Out Expo 2012. Victoria Rouse talks about Working On Environmental Conservation Projects Abroad. The principles of GreenFORCE came from the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The first global recognition of the urgent need to preserve the diversity of life on earth. 168 countries undertook to implement biodiversity surveys of their "at risk" regions. Section 3c states that "if the host country does not have the resource to undertake this work then an international aid organization would be invited in by the host country". GreenFORCE is one of those organisations. GreenFORCE are a member of the IUCN - World Conservation Union. An NGO in our host countries. Multiple award winner, both in country and internationally, GreenFORCE only works at the invitation of the host country, in partnership with the local people to create a sustainable and bio-diverse future. This presentation was filmed by 247 Media at Year Out Expo - the London Gap Year & Career Break Show on Saturday 14th January 2012.
