We are committed to a human rights approach and work to ensure that our nature conservation activities are carried out in a manner that respects and promotes these rights.

We understand that local communities play a key role in biodiversity conservation. Those who live in these territories on a daily basis and base their livelihoods on activities and uses linked to nature—raising animals, fishing, beekeeping—also benefit from these ecosystems remaining healthy.

That is why we seek to design projects together with communities, integrating their interests and knowledge, and moving towards a vision of conservation that considers both the protection of species, ecosystems, and landscapes, as well as the human dimension.

How do we work?

• We implement institutional social safeguard policies aimed at minimizing risks, promoting social benefits, and achieving the greatest possible participation of local representatives in conservation projects.
• We create participatory forums to learn about the perspectives and motivations of communities so that we can incorporate them into the design of conservation strategies.
• We respect the rights of communities, social minorities, and Indigenous Peoples, with a gender perspective.
• We advise communities on the implementation of sustainable production practices and coexistence with biodiversity, while also promoting improvements in quality of life.

We aspire to long-term sustainability in our projects and, therefore, through partnerships with other institutions, we seek to develop capacities that enable communities to take advantage of the opportunities offered by nature conservation.

We offer equal employment opportunities and value diversity in our teams.
