We are an initiative of the Peruvian Society for Environmental Law (SPDA) that strengthens and scales citizen-led conservation efforts, contributing to national and international goals by expanding the protection and value of key natural areas. For over a decade, we have supported communities, young leaders, private initiatives, and grassroots collectives that are transforming how conservation is done in Latin America.

We combine legal tools, creative communication, citizen campaigns, and leadership development to generate local impact. Our work is grounded in an affective, inclusive, and replicable approach that connects people, places, and solutions.

DRIVING CITIZEN- LED SOLUTIONS FOR NATURE

Across Peru and Latin America, millions of people are already protecting their territories, restoring ecosystems, and embracing more sustainable ways of life. However, these efforts often face legal, technical, and financial barriers that limit their ability to grow and endure.

That’s why we focus on creating the skills and conditions needed to multiply the impact of citizen-led conservation initiatives of those who are on the front line in the territory defending and promoting our natural heritage.

In a time of global biodiversity and climate crises, solutions must be connected to people. Conservation is a daily, collective, and transformative act.

OUR WORK

We build collective conservation solutions grounded in a positive, practical, and action-oriented vision. We work in the territory alongside citizens as strategic allies for change.

+ Citizen-led conservation: We strengthen and scale conservation led by citizens and communities in Peru.
+ Innovation for conservation: We drive citizen innovation to protect strategic ecosystems like surf breaks and free-flowing rivers.
+ Urban action: We promote reconnection with nature from cities by encouraging sustainable lifestyles.
+ Grassroots leadership: We train and empower a new generation of leaders across Latin America.

OUR APPROACH

We act from a place of collective commitment, respecting diverse knowledge and realities. We believe in collaborative solutions based in science, rights, and participation to build a more just and sustainable future.
