What we do
We can't protect the Amazon alone from a distance. We need Indigenous communities, the Amazon's strongest defenders. We develop community-owned areas where forests are most threatened.
Establish Indigenous Stewardship
We protect threatened rainforests by transferring stewardship back to indigenous communities.
Boost Biodiversity
Our conservation work delivers measurable biodiversity benefits based on science and ancestral wisdom.
Activate Travel Economies
We turn travel into a catalyst, generating the resources needed to sustain conservation and boost local economies.

Walking side by side with the Sinchi Warmis through the rainforest, I realized that supporting Indigenous wisdom and their frontline fight to protect the forest safeguards the future—not only for their children, but for all of us.

"Walking side by side with the Sinchi Warmis through the rainforest, I realized that supporting Indigenous wisdom and their frontline fight to protect the forest safeguards the future—not only for their children, but for all of us."
We protect threatened rainforests by acquiring endangered land, designating it as protected, and transferring long-term stewardship back to the Indigenous communities who have safeguarded it for generations. This initiative is led by an alliance between Ventura TRAVEL, the non-profit V Social Foundation, and local Indigenous community partners. Together, we develop community-owned, community-led conservation forests.
In this model, travel becomes a driving force — generating the resources and international solidarity needed to turn this vision into reality. Grounded in local leadership and supported by science, the project delivers measurable impact for biodiversity and climate resilience.
Resilience
We create conservation models that endure for generations.
Owned by the Community
True guardianship for biodiversity lies with indigenous beliefs.
Tangible
Our reserves offer visitors a direct experience of conservation, turning awareness into action against the biodiversity crisis.
Trusted by Science
Our actions are grounded in evidence and measured with transparency.
