Five minutes to save a world you didn't know was dying.
El Triunfo was enacted in 1990 as a Biosphere Reserve and is located at the Sierra Madre of Chiapas, Mexico. The Cloud Forest is the last refuge for endemic and endangered species like the Green Aracari, the tapir, the jaguar, the quetzal, the puma, the peacock and over 2,000 species of mosses, plants and fungi that are not yet classified. All inhabit this forest comprised of 119,000 hectares.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
El Triunfa was declared a reserve the same year the first IPCC report dropped—1990, when 'biosphere' still sounded hopeful.
The quetzal is sacred to Maya peoples; its survival here is both ecological and spiritual restitution, though the film barely whispers this.
