Preserving biodiversity for a thriving planet
At Nature and Culture International, we partner with communities, local governments, and conservationists to protect species and their ecosystems. From the Amazon rainforest to the Andes and the dry forests of Latin America, we safeguard some of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Together, we ensure wildlife can thrive by protecting intact forests for future generations.
Protecting and connecting critical habitat
We connect ecosystems across districts, provinces, and even countries.
In an increasingly fragmented world, many species have less space to migrate, disperse, feed, and thrive. By linking national, regional, and local protected areas, we create vital wildlife corridors that allow threatened species such as the jaguar, Andean condor, and spectacled bear to move freely in search of food, water, shelter, and breeding grounds.
Monitoring endangered and key species
Nature and Culture provides technical and logistical support to local and international universities and other NGOs for the monitoring, evaluation, and research of threatened and key species. Thanks to this research, we have taken action to prevent species extinction and found strategies that allow us to conserve biodiverse landscapes for the long term.

Earth’s wildlife populations have declined 73% in the last 50 years
Many scientists are calling this period the sixth mass extinction – and it is being driven by humans. Latin America, and specifically the Amazon, has seen the steepest decline in average wildlife population size, accelerated by deforestation. Research and monitoring of the rich diversity of life for overall ecosystem health.
Protecting and connecting vulnerable and threatened species’ habitat is critical in the fight to save our planet’s biodiversity.
