Friends Of Hoja Nueva

Our Mission

Hoja Nueva is a dynamic 501(C)(3) non-profit working in Madre de Dios, Peru. Our research center in the jungle serves as a local knowledge base led by novel, on-the-ground research, the majority of which involves conservation, education, permaculture, and sustainable community development. Hoja Nueva confronts deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon by conserving rainforest and building capacity within remote and indigenous communities; implementing rigorous scientific research in health and wildlife; and creating alternative income opportunities that protect indigenous culture and wildlife habitat
