How and why did Aurora Lights form?
Aurora Lights originally formed in Ecuador in 1998 under the name “Fundacion Nucanchi Yuracuna,” which means “our trees” in the native Quichua language of the Andes. Jen Osha, Santiago Diaz, and Rodrigo Donoso worked together to purchase 12 acres of land, start a small organic farm and tree nursery, and organize environmental education projects. They also hosted summer interns in environmental education and as research assistants. We spent 12 weeks in the Sacha Huayco forest, at 13,000 feet elevation, studying the native Polylepis trees as an alternative to planting pine trees in reforestation projects. The projects were temporarily haulted when the neighboring volcano,Tungurahua, erupted and buried the farm in ash. Currently, Rodrigo Donoso still runs the tree nursery through Alta Montaña, a mountain guiding company.
