Mission

To build environmental awareness, develop community involvement and put sustainable strategies for biodiversity conservation into practice, reducing the threats to biodiversity and the harm human activity does to ecosystems.
Vision

A harmonious coexistence between people and nature, where the Earth’s diverse ecosystems are preserved and sustainably used for future generations.
