The Pachamama Alliance was born out of a relationship developed between a group of people from the modern world and the leaders of remote indigenous groups in the Amazon region of Ecuador. The Alliance recognizes that indigenous people are the rainforests’ natural custodians and, therefore, key strategies of the alliance focus on helping to protect their culture and empowering their ability to stand for and represent their own interests. At the same time, the invitation from our South American allies was clear: if we really want to help them, we need to go to work in our part of the world.
Thus, The Pachamama Alliance’s mission is two-fold: to preserve the Earth’s tropical rainforests by empowering the indigenous people who are its natural custodians and to contribute to the creation of a new global vision of equity and sustainability for all.
