About Alianza Wichi

We aim to create sanctuaries in the Gran Chaco because we see the emergency to protect biodiversity and cultural diversity in this strategic ecoregion. Many Indigenous communities are being chased from their native lands. Without the Forest, they are condemned to live in extreme poverty in city suburbs. Cultural diversity is key for humanity and for enhancing and protecting ecosystems and its biodiversity. The cultural inheritances of these indigenous groups have been seriously altered and their knowledge is not being transmitted to the new generations. We intend to start to protect these territories, empower communities to regain their relationship with the natural world and their territories by securing it and collaborating with them to develop reforestation and biodiversity. This is why we intended to promote and create spaces of their traditional knowledge preservation and wisdom. As an elderly man told us some time ago: “Any culture, as any star, no matter how small this is, becomes essential to the universe”. We want to connect indigneous knowledge and techniques with global society, researchers, universities and the world’s regeneration movement, by creating an open space of connectivity and shared knowledges, values, and love for humanity and nature. Our mantra is: “Cultural diversity and biodiversity thrive together”. We will begin the regeneration process of the community’s territory, exploring the diverse techniques of reforesting the destroyed areas and biodiversity. Using agroforestry techniques, we want to plant edible forests and bio-intensive crops, as well as recovering medicinal plants. Other projects will be launched for the benefit of all communities such as: a seed bank of endangered specimens, a tree nursery, drinking water supply or crop irrigation and regenerative projects. We intend to create a natural and cultural sanctuary a refuge for local cultures and a natural reserve where biodiversity can thrive again.
