Ecuador grants legal status to carbon and biodiversity association ASOCARBONO EC

Ecuador's Ministry of Environment and Energy approved the statute and granted legal personality to ASOCARBONO EC, an association focused on carbon, biodiversity, natural resources, and biocommerce, headquartered in Guayaquil. This is a routine administrative action, though it may signal increased formalization of carbon-related activities in Ecuador. The development is low-impact and not market-moving.
