What is the project about?

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.
