Gaia Amazonas

The Gaia Amazon Fund

The Gaia Amazon Fund, working together with its partner Fundación Gaia Amazonas, promotes governance processes and environmental stewardship in the Northwest Amazon, grounded in the traditional indigenous vision of environmental preservation.

We work to empower the indigenous populations of the Amazon in furthering their self-determination and fostering an innovative yet millennia-old model of preservation of biodiversity and cultural diversity. Our legal, technical and financial support allows the indigenous communities and organizations to define, develop and implement their own local and regional initiatives, projects and programs.

We have worked for twenty years on the following specific lines of action:

• Indigenous governance
• Territorial management and environmental preservation
• Intercultural education
• Intercultural health
• Mapping and social cartography
• Transboundary coordination among Amazonian countries
• Institutional strengthening and recognition of traditional indigenous authorities.
