About Our organization
Hoja Nueva is a strategic conservation organization confronting the multifaceted threats to the biodiversity of the Peruvian Amazon.
We preserve Amazonian ecosystems by protecting over 3,000 hectares of primary rainforest, combating wildlife trafficking, rescuing and rewilding key species, and running a first-of-its-kind ecological research station and education center. Hoja Nueva maintains its U.S. headquarters in Washington State with its field operations, rehabilitation facilities, and research center in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon.
Through our Peruvian NGO, we employ a multi-tiered strategy to address both the causes and the effects of short-term and long-term conservation concerns which threaten the astonishing biodiversity of the Las Piedras region of Madre de Dios, Peru, a little-known but massively important area of the Peruvian Amazon. Our goal is to implement strategic actions in the short-term to protect threatened wildlife and forests from immediate destruction while simultaneously designing initiatives for long-term conservation. These initiatives are focused on empowering & educating local communities, integrating local government and non-profit organizations into a collaborative conservation effort to protect the most vulnerable populations & habitats, and performing rigorous & novel scientific research to best inform conservation planning and management strategies.
