Our organization supports the Amazonian indigenous nationalities when it comes to enforcing their collective rights. The objective is to achieve recognition of their culture and the protection of their territories.
We are committed to protecting the territories by preserving the forested areas and all the beings that inhabit them in the most biodiverse region in the world.
To that end, the programs and projects that we develop focus on promoting the permanent protection of the Amazonian Sacred Headwaters, empowering women through maternal-infant health programs, sustainable production through bio-entrepreneurship, strengthening of the indigenous organizations, conservation and titling of ancestral lands, the promotion of alternative development models, the sustainable use of natural resources, the guarantee of the rights of the Amazonian nationalities, and climate change mitigation.
Mission
We support the permanent protection of the Amazon and the autonomous management of the Amazonian territories and indigenous peoples against the threats that promote their accelerated destruction.
We promote the adoption of resilient and innovative models that respect life, recognizing nature and human rights. Taking “Well-Being” into account, along with the nationalities and native peoples of the Pan-Amazonian region, we create proposals to generate the necessary conditions for strengthening the peoples’ autonomy.
Vision
To strengthen the vision of a universal future for the Amazon and the world by 2030; in a quest for a sustainable, inclusive, and innovative society based on the respect of nature and human rights.
