Protecting the Amazon Rainforest by Strengthening Indigenous Communities

 De la Tierra's mission is to preserve the Amazon Rainforest by promoting thriving Indigenous communities, merging modern advancements with ancestral tradition through education and empowerment.  Restoring harmony, health and balance to the Earth and her inhabitants through a rich quality of life.
 
De la Tierra envisions a future where strong, culturally intact, sovereign communities progressively steward their local bioregions in a sustainable, low impact and reciprocal way.  Where the health of the community is a reflection of the health of the land.

Partnering with indigenous and other local communities to protect tropical forests and strengthen traditional culture.

We see a future where healthy tropical forests and thriving local communities exist in harmonious relationship with each other, contributing to the well-being of the planet. We believe that our collective future depends on protecting these forests. Our work is focused on stopping threats to the forest and its people, or on mitigating those threats.

Inspired by the strength of the indigenous people in the Amazon.

 de la Tierra is helping support the long-term survival of the Kofan in a time where their continued presence on Earth is needed now more than ever. They are a magical people who are protecting the Amazon for the benefit of all people on earth. We all need to be lifting up communities like this as much as possible. 

Because I know Dr. Mark Plotkin, the enthobotanist and conservationist who co-founded this organization, and I've seen the impact of their work on the expansive nature and indigenous people of the Amazon. In a sense, much of our global well-being, and much of the future of medicine (and avoiding pandemics), depends on preserving "the lungs of the planet."
