A Rocha Peru

About us

A Rocha Peru’s work is comprised of three components: research, conservation, and environmental education.
A Rocha Peru is restoring dry forest, which is one of the country’s most threatened landscapes, providing habitat for many endangered species. the aim is to improve the health of the forest and protect vulnerable native species, working with local communities to restore, conserve and sustainably manage the landscape and increase tree cover on agricultural lands.  A Rocha Peru is also working with local community members to introduce ecological ovens that will reduce the reliance on charcoal and firewood and to provide training in agroforestry and sustainable income alternatives, including the production of algarrobina syrup and traditional handicrafts.
