  abstract = {{T}raditional cocoa plantations in {E}cuador are mostly composed of a complex mix of highly variable hybrid progenies, which has greatly reduced the population of native trees of the "{N}acional" variety, to such a point that they are considered today as heading for extinction, which is increasingly worrying the international chocolate industry. {S}ome years ago, we used genetic molecular markers to identify trees considered to be relics of the ancient original population of the "{N}acional" variety, and some wild cocoa trees in a particular region of the southern {E}cuadorian {A}mazon were identified as highly related to the "{N}acional" variety. {T}his paper presents the results of two surveys carried out in the southern {E}cuadorian {A}mazon, in the {Z}amora-{C}hinchipe {P}rovince, in 2010 and 2013. {T}he objective of these surveys was to search for, identify and rescue cocoa trees that might be the wild ancestors of the "{N}acional" variety. {I}n 2010, 83 mother trees were collected (budwood, pods and leaves) and 48 in 2013. {T}hey were preserved at the {G}ranja {D}omono experimental farm, near {M}acas ({M}orona-{S}antiago province) and at the {T}ropical {E}xperimental station {P}ichilingue, near {Q}uevedo. {T}he trees collected are currently being characterized for their genetic diversity, using molecular markers, and for the biochemical diversity of their beans.},
