Welcome to Casa del Jaguar: Guardians of Nature and Culture

We are dedicated to empowering native communities, protecting their traditions, and conserving the natural environment for a sustainable future.

About us

Why is it important to empower native communities, protect their traditions and conserve the natural environment for a sustainable future?

Empowering native communities, protecting their traditions, and conserving the natural environment not only honor their legacy and rights but also form a crucial pillar for ensuring a healthy and balanced planet for future generations.

Protecting Traditions

Empowering native communities, protecting their traditions, and conserving the natural environment are fundamental for building a sustainable future.

Ancestral Knowledge

Native communities possess invaluable ancestral knowledge about the management and conservation of biodiversity, which is crucial in the fight against climate change and environmental degradation.

Tools and Support

By empowering these communities, we provide them with the tools and support necessary to manage their resources autonomously and sustainably.

Cultural Traditions

Protecting their cultural traditions is equally important, as these practices and knowledge are intrinsically linked to the health of the ecosystem.

Balance between Humans and Nature

The cultural and spiritual traditions of native communities not only enrich our global cultural diversity but also promote a harmonious balance between humans and nature.

Healthy Ecosystems

Conserving the natural environment is essential for maintaining biodiversity, which in turn sustains life on Earth. Healthy ecosystems provide vital services such as clean air, drinkable water, and fertile soils, in addition to being habitats for countless species.

The Problem Facing Native Communities in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest

Native communities in the Amazon rainforest are facing enormous challenges that threaten their survival and the preservation of their cultures. Climate change is altering natural patterns, affecting biodiversity, and putting at risk the essential resources these communities depend on. Additionally, indiscriminate logging and resource exploitation are devastating vast areas of the rainforest, destroying the homes of countless species and the communities that have lived in harmony with nature for centuries.

These guardians of the Amazon possess ancestral knowledge about sustainable resource management. However, their ability to protect their environment and maintain their traditions is being severely compromised. It is vital to act now to ensure a sustainable future for them and for our planet.

An Impactful Case: The Yawanawá Community

The Yawanawá community is a clear example of the crisis faced by many native communities. Located in the heart of the Amazon, this community has seen their ancestral lands invaded and devastated by illegal logging. The water sources that have sustained their lives for generations are being contaminated, and the biodiversity surrounding their home is disappearing.

The Yawanawá have witnessed their children suffer from diseases related to environmental contamination and their elders, bearers of millennia-old knowledge, see their wisdom threatened by the loss of their lands and traditions. Despite these challenges, the Yawanawá continue to fight, seeking ways to adapt and resist.

At Casa del Jaguar, we are committed to supporting communities like the Yawanawá to help them face these challenges and thrive. But we need your help to do so.
