Overview

Mission

Floresta project was born out of a deep concern for the planet and its people, and an awareness of the importance of preserving the earth-based traditions that indigenous and native communities are struggling to hold on to. For the last ten years members of floresta project have been travelling to communities in north and south america, establishing close relationships with the people there. Through these connections we have come to understand some of the struggles that these communities face, and we are dedicated to helping them develop and thrive in a way that honors nature and their cultural heritage.
