Solutions for a more vibrant future.
Ecosystem conservation and restoration, applied research, education, responsible innovation, and community strengthening.
Who we are
Knowledge transformed into care and local capacity.
Mission
To advance ecosystem conservation and restoration and community well-being through applied research, education, innovation and technology transfer, social organization, and sustainable development practices.
Vision 2031
To become a leading regional organization with national and international partnerships, recognized for verifiable projects in environmental restoration, participatory science, appropriate technology, and community strengthening.
Essence
We understand life on Earth as an interdependent web. We work holistically to restore natural balance, connect knowledge with action, and strengthen responsible relationships among people, communities, and ecosystems.
Institutional principles
How we work matters as much as the result.
The Foundation places integrity, verifiable evidence, and informed participation at the center of every decision.
Sources, methods, uncertainty, and limitations communicated clearly.
Inclusion, intercultural respect, consent, and no appropriation of collective achievements.
Environmental precaution, harm prevention, and nature-based solutions.
Interdisciplinary collaboration and responsible access to knowledge whenever feasible.
Nonprofit purpose and use of resources exclusively for institutional objectives.
2027–2031 Strategic Plan
Six pillars for a useful and accountable institution.
The plan connects environmental action, appropriate technology, community capabilities, and an institutional foundation able to document decisions and remain accountable.
Environmental conservation
Evidence-based interventions for aquatic, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems.
Innovation and technology transfer
Appropriate technologies for monitoring, environmental management, and community needs.
Community development
Social organization, participation, and local capabilities for sustainable projects.
Sustainable tourism
Training, research, and guidance in sustainable and regenerative tourism management.
Education and research
Workshops, outreach, training, and applied science as a cross-cutting practice.
Institutional strengthening
Governance, transparency, financial sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
Priority programs
A portfolio with concrete deliverables.
We integrate research, place-based action, education, and technology to produce useful knowledge, strengthen capabilities, and deliver verifiable results.
Program A
Water, watersheds, and coastal ecosystems
Participatory monitoring, habitat restoration, biodiversity, and education to protect watersheds and lagoons.
Deliverables: assessments, observation series, reports, and documented community actions.
Program B
Innovation Lab for Sustainability
Sensors, data analysis, educational platforms, and technology transfer through field-tested tools.
Deliverables: evaluated prototypes, user guides, training, and results reports.
Program C
Communities for Conservation
Participatory assessments, community assemblies, local facilitators, and collective field activities.
Deliverables: agreed plans, documented participation, and follow-up reports.
Program D
Responsible and Regenerative Tourism
Impact research, environmental interpretation, and capacity building for low-impact experiences that benefit communities.
Deliverables: guides, workshops, and place-based assessments.
Program E
Education, Science, and Outreach
School and community workshops, teacher training, citizen science, digital content, and academic gatherings.
Deliverables: materials, learning assessments, and public reports.
How we work
From a real need to results that can be reviewed.
We use a stage-gate cycle: assessment, design, interdisciplinary review, documented implementation, evaluation, and continuous improvement.
Document and assess
Challenge, territory, stakeholders, baseline, evidence, and alternatives.
Design
Objectives, methodology, indicators, budget, schedule, risks, and safeguards.
Evaluate and approve
Technical, ethical, legal, financial, and environmental review, with recusal for conflicts of interest.
Implement and monitor
Permits, field logs, measurements, supervision, controls, and authorized changes.
Close and learn
Deliverables, reconciliation, results against the baseline, sustainability, and lessons learned.
Work in action
Science and technology serving the territory.
Our experience brings together environmental observation, data analysis, restoration, education, and community organization. Each area connects technical knowledge with concrete decisions and action.
Environmental robotics
We develop and integrate robotic platforms, sensors, and field protocols to observe ecosystems and expand monitoring capacity under complex conditions.
Aquifers in real time
We combine telemetry, remote monitoring, and continuous data series to understand water dynamics, identify change, and support timely decisions.
Data science
We transform environmental and social information into maps, indicators, models, and dashboards that communities, specialists, and institutions can understand.
Ecosystem restoration
We connect ecological assessment, habitat recovery, biodiversity monitoring, and local participation to strengthen natural functions.
Territorial risk management
We integrate environmental variables, place-based knowledge, mapping, and community protocols to anticipate threats and strengthen response capacity.
Environmental and STEAM education
We bring science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics closer through hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and problem-solving skills.
Sustainable community tourism
We strengthen local capacity, heritage interpretation, and low-impact experiences that care for the territory and generate shared benefits.
Prepared communities
We facilitate agreements, training, and tools so community knowledge informs every stage, from assessment to results evaluation.
Looking ahead
A knowledge infrastructure to care for life.
Connected observation
We expand sensor networks, remote monitoring, and continuous analysis to understand environmental change sooner.
Shared learning
We turn data and field experience into training, open methodologies, and capabilities that remain in the territory.
Replicable solutions
We consolidate models that integrate nature, technology, and participation and can adapt to new ecosystems and communities.
Transparency and accountability
Trust is documented.
We promote and require traceability of resources, decisions, and results, with personal data protection and independent review of relevant operations.
Project recordsObjectives, schedule, budget, risks, indicators, permits, sources, and evidence.
Results in contextClear distinction among observations, estimates, simulations, limitations, and lessons learned.
Traceable resourcesChronological records, supporting documentation, cost centers, reconciliation, and conflict-of-interest controls.
Responsible publicationAuthorized reports cleared of sensitive data, with visible corrections when appropriate.
Participation and contact
Partnerships with purpose and clear rules.
We work with communities, academic institutions, specialists, organizations, and responsible companies that share our commitment to caring for life and the territory.
Communities
Participatory assessment, place-based knowledge, local facilitators, and feedback mechanisms.
Academia
Applied research, training, methodology, laboratories, and technical review.
Institutions
Agreements, permits, territorial coordination, and capacity building.
Organizations and companies
Technical cooperation, responsible innovation, and action aligned with the institutional mission.
