We deeply value the ancestral knowledge, worldviews, and cultural practices of local communities, recognizing them as fundamental pillars for conservation. We promote a respectful and horizontal dialogue of knowledge that enriches our actions and strengthens ties with the territories.

Our work is based on recognizing the intrinsic value of all forms of life. We act with ethical responsibility to protect biodiversity—species, ecosystems, and ecological processes—understanding that human and non-human life are interconnected.

We foster an organizational culture based on coherence between what we say and do. We promote accountability, access to information, and the building of trusting relationships with our allies, communities, and society at large.

We believe in the power of collective work. We promote the active participation of communities, institutions, and other actors, recognizing shared responsibility in the management of territories and conservation processes.

We address conservation challenges through the integration of multiple perspectives: scientific, social, educational, cultural, and community-based. We promote the construction of collective, applied, and contextualized knowledge that enriches our strategies.

We recognize that many threats to biodiversity are linked to social and historical inequalities. Therefore, we work toward processes that promote equity, address structural injustices, and ensure fair access to the benefits of conservation.

We promote creative, relevant, and sustainable solutions that emerge from the dialogue between science, local knowledge, and the practical experience of communities. We value innovation as a collective, situated, and transformative process.

We are committed to building inclusive and equitable environments where all people—regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, or other circumstances—have equal opportunities for participation, leadership, and well-being.

We foster a work environment based on respect, warmth, and mutual care. We believe that the emotional, physical, and collective well-being of our team and partners is key to the sustainability of our mission.

We promote relationships based on active listening, mutual understanding, and respect for diversity. We believe in reciprocity as a fundamental principle for strengthening trust and cooperation among diverse stakeholders.

Our actions are guided by the principles of non-maleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice. We are committed to acting with ethical responsibility toward living beings, people, and the territories we work with.

We fairly recognize and highlight the contributions, achievements, and leadership of all individuals within the Foundation, ensuring credit and authorship ethically and transparently, promoting an environment where merit and experience are valued as part of collective well-being and internal justice.
