The Shiparo is widely recognized for its fundamental role as a containment barrier, significantly contributing to preventing soil degradation along riverbanks. Its distinctive abundance of strong roots not only stabilizes riverbanks but also provides valuable refuge for aquatic life. Moreover, its generosity extends to fish, which find a natural source of food in its fruits. The tree's remarkable regenerative capacity allows its seeds to naturally settle along riverbanks, enabling new generations to thrive. Its branches, with their twisted forms and tendency to bridge from one shore to another, create a unique tourist attraction by becoming natural bridges. It is not only an environmental advocate but also plays a vital role in conserving local fauna by providing essential habitats for various species. Additionally, for the Kichwa nationality, this tree is a sacred icon, revered for the numerous blessings it brings to various aspects of life.
