AFRONTA

Our work

To accompany and transform. We come to walk together.

Asamblea comunal en maloca

We support processes of territorial defence and management through technical work, knowledge generation, organizational strengthening and the coordination of actors. We do not seek to replace the role of communities or public institutions: our role is to accompany, facilitate processes, generate useful information and contribute to building solutions, with a long-term vision.

Real change is built from within.

Our approach

Knowledge, organization and action. We support three broad lines of work, connected to one another:

01

Territories and conservation

Creation and management of areas (national, private, ACR) that care for ecosystems and resources, strengthening the relationship between people, territory and biodiversity.

02

Strengthening communities

Autonomy, territorial security, governance, community surveillance and the defence of the rights of Indigenous peoples and local organizations.

03

Knowledge for action

Objective, georeferenced information as a tool for decision-making, advocacy and territorial and legal defence.

Territories and initiatives

We work in Amazonian and high Andean territories. We see borders as places of encounter, exchange and connection.
