Earth culture & Development

Our vision and mission:

Even when it is difficult to revert the Amazonian scenario, the Madre De Dios’ forest presents still some possibilities to be rescued from the imminent danger of loosing its natural potentials. Madre De Dios is able to become a fountain of biological and cultural diversity for the humanity.

In order to heal the problem since its beginning, FAR and its alliances should be able to promote in the local population the development of ecologically viable economic activities, as alternatives for sustainable land use.

The motor of this vision is that it exist more people in the field that is interested in practicing other land uses, whenever these activities have access to commercial markets (Fair trade markets in preference). This group of people constitutes, in our understanding, the strongest basis to realize this change towards the true sustainable development in the Amazon.

FAR makes a call to all the people, institutions and organizations that work for environmental education, culture, conservation of biodiversity and sustainable development, to interrelate our efforts in order to facilitate the joint tasks directed to these aims.

FAR’s mission is to contribute to the conservation of the biodiversity, the cultural revalorization and the sustainable development in the Peruvian Amazon, in order to make real changes for the environmental health and the social welfare.

To make it possible, the Amazonian Foundation for Reciprocity (FAR) has designed programs and integral projects able to contribute to this cause that need to be financed for its development. All the projects of FAR are planned to obtain the self-sustainability as one of their goals.
