The Institute for the Conservation of Threatened Species is dedicated to preserving biodiversity through innovative and collaborative strategies. They work in geographic areas requiring urgent intervention, such as Andean ecosystems, cloud forests, and the Amazon rainforest. Their initiatives include reforestation campaigns, conservation of threatened flora and fauna, and climate change mitigation. The institute collaborates with community leaders and promotes volunteer participation to achieve a positive impact on the preservation of threatened species and critical ecosystems.
Since 2023, the Institute for the Conservation of Threatened Species has become a partner of the Acción Andina program, actively committing to the restoration of the Queuña forests in the Apurímac region of Peru. Through this collaboration, we work in close coordination with local communities and leaders to implement sustainable forest management practices, ensure water resources, and promote the local economy. Our goal with the Acción Andina program is not only to preserve but also to strengthen the link between conservation and community development.
