Pachamama  Conservation
Non-profit organization to
assist
the indigenous people of Chile |
Our
Mission
Pachamama
Conservation is a non-profit organization committed to providing
alternative economic ways to fulfill basic needs of the indigenous
people of Chile. By means of providing education,
job training, and environmental restoration, we seek to contribute
in their self sufficiency, thus enabling them to preserve and
reclaim their culture and traditions.
Why
this work is important
Indigenous
people have traditionally lived in harmony with Mother Earth,
respecting all existing forms of life.
In
recent Years, the destruction of Pachamama (Mother Earth) has
reached alarming proportions. The rapid extinction of
indigenous cultures, the permanent loss of ancient forests, medicinal
plants and wild life, and drastic changes in weather patterns
have been a wake-up call to the world.
In
response to the difficult reality that indigenous people face
today, Pachamama Conservation was formed in 1999. Our
vision is to strengthen indigenous cultures, and empower indigenous
people's ability to to stand for and represent their own interests.
Furthermore, allow them to blend knowledge and wisdom
in order to insure the wellbeing of Pachamama and the global
commons.
It
is of vital importance that they pass on their traditional knowledge
of organic farming and the use of medicinal plants and herbs
to future generations, thus insuring that their way of life will
be sustainable in the next millennium.
