El Puente Foundation company information, Employees & Contact Information

Building intercultural bridges for a thriving planet. El Puente - meaning "the bridge" in Spanish - is a charitable foundation supporting Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC), with the protection and regeneration of their landscapes and ecosystems. We are an intercultural bridge founded on the pillars of Sovereignty, Regeneration, Education and Reciprocity. Our aim is to develop resiliency at a local and global level by protecting land and establishing sustainable projects and enterprises focused on biocultural preservation and ecological restoration. El Puente Pillars We are implementing a four-pillar approach: Sovereignty, Regeneration, Education, and Reciprocity, to address and reverse the ecological, climate, and health crises. This approach supports Indigenous-led conservation, regeneration, and restoration projects aimed at restoring self-sustaining ecosystems to their natural, flourishing state. In order to do this effectively, we must nurture healthy relationships between people of all cultures and the ecosystems that sustain us. Sovereignty: We support Indigenous-led conservation efforts, ensuring that local communities have control over their lands and resources. Regeneration: Our projects aim to restore ecosystems to their natural, flourishing state through sustainable practices. Education: We facilitate the exchange of knowledge between cultures, honouring the power of our collective wisdom. Reciprocity: We nurture sustainable economic models through IPLC-led projects, ensuring benefit-sharing, respect for Indigenous rights, and building resiliency for their communities and ecosystems.
