Mission: Established in 1997, Nature and Culture International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving biologically diverse landscapes in Latin America, in concert with local cultures, for the well-being of the planet. We've successfully implemented a locally-based conservation model, resulting in the legal protection of more than 22 million acres of forests and páramo grasslands in Latin America. Working at the subnational level and in focused, ecologically important landscapes, we have offices located in and around the areas we protect, providing us the opportunity to partner with communities to provide long-term impact. (Less)
