Humanity & Biodiversity

Wallawisa's mission is to work towards the conservation of biological diversity around the world. To do this, we develop and disseminate research, and take defensive and educative actions regarding our flora and fauna, both in the cities and the wilderness.

In addition, Wallawisa is committed to the conservation and correct transmition of the knowledge from the different ancestral cultures found all over Perú, sensitizing and educating people regarding the fundamental role that each of us fulfills in the conservation of our cultural heritage.

We seek to build a society where respect for nature prevails through the care of flora and fauna around the world. In this sense, Wallawisa is constituted as an organization that serves as a vehicle to show, study and contribute knowledge about the situational reality on our planet.
