Who we are
Pacha Conservancy is a Peruvian based charitable organization committed to:
- Protecting and understanding biodiversity in the areas we work
- Spreading sustainable ways of life and encouraging fair, sustainable development with respect for the earth (PACHA)
- Promote the local population´s awareness and responsibility in regards to environmental issues
Mission
The Pacha conservancy aims to preserve the existing flora and fauna and plant native trees to restore forests that have been cut and degraded. We work locally by educating students and communities about global issues, our role in the environment and energy efficiency.
Vision
Pacha Conservancy aspires to be an institution of distinction to inspire, educate and involve the families in the areas where we work. Trees are essential to reverse declining soil fertility and to improve agricultural productivity and quality of life. However, planting trees can be difficult when the canopy has disappeared, topsoil has been eroded, and the climate and growing conditions have changed.
