A Future at Risk

The absence of effective preservation policies threatens the continuity of native matrices of Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis, as well as traditional knowledge and associated ecosystems.

Pressure on natural habitats

The advance of deforestation, disorderly exploitation, and loss of native areas directly compromises the survival of species in their territories of origin.

Erosão genética

A reprodução sem critérios técnicos e a ausência de bancos de germoplasma ameaçam a diversidade genética necessária à preservação de longo prazo.

Cultural and knowledge loss

The disconnection between science, traditional communities, and public policies puts at risk ancestral knowledge built over generations.

What We Protect

Two sacred plants fundamental to the Ayahuasca tradition

Mariri/Jagube

Mariri / Jagube

Banisteriopsis caapi

The sacred vine that forms the base of Ayahuasca. Known for its medicinal and spiritual properties, this plant is essential for the traditional preparation of the beverage. We protect native matrices in their original habitats, ensuring genetic diversity and the continuity of traditions.

Protected Species
Chacrona

Chacrona / Queen of the Forest

Psychotria viridis

The sacred leaf that complements the preparation. Known as "Queen of the Forest", this plant is fundamental to the tradition. Our work includes genetic mapping, variety cataloging, and support for sustainable cultivation in traditional communities.

Protected Species
