Together with Andean indigenous communities, we regenerate degraded lands to increase biodiversity, restore the hydrological cycle, and create economic opportunities.
Biodiversity and healthy soil are the foundation of our existence. They are crucial for our food security and protect us against the impacts of a changing climate.
Founders Campesina Forestal
Rooted in the Sacred Valley of Peru, Campesina Forestal was founded by the couple Julio, a local Quechua farmer, and Julia, from Holland, bringing in her global perspective. Together, they are on a mission to restore nature, working with the land & local communities. In 2023, they initiated the ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation) foundation ‘Stichting Campesina Forestal’ in the Netherlands as well as the local partner NGO ‘Asociación Campesina Forestal’ in Peru.
