Founded in 1997, Nature and Culture International is a conservation organization with the mission of protecting biologically diverse ecosystems in concert with local people in Latin America. Its 16 in-country offices in Ecuador, Mexico and Peru are staffed by local conservationists in efforts to begin work with local and in many cases indigenous communities, and with governments from the local to national level.
Nature and Culture International has helped save millions of acres of endangered ecosystems in 20 of Latin America's most biodiverse regions, with the goal of expanding to 60. Projects include protecting 200,000 acres of Andean cloud forests, home of the endangered spectacled bear and mountain tapir, and working with 11 indigenous Awajun communities and the regional government of Amazonas to create the 114,406 acre Pamau Nain Conservation Concession.
Our work with Nature and Culture International ranges from support to conserving the biodiversity of the lowland Amazon forests of Loreto, Peru, to strengthening park management in the montane and cloud forests of Northern Peru with the ultimate goal of placing 462,000 hectares under solid conservation management.
