Why were are here...

---

We are about people and places. We build upon the past to create a better collective future.  We recognize that all people and places have unique values and identities, all equally deserving of our attention, none better than others, just different.  

We aren't here to tell your that the Amazonian savannas of Bolivia are any more important that any place else on our planet, but we want to share them with you because we think they're pretty darn interesting and that their people, biodiversity, and landscapes have been neglected and misunderstood (as are many, many other parts the world).

While we focus of on the Pampas Amazónicas of northern and eastern Bolivia, we will highlight other regions and cultures we have learned in our life journeys, recognizing that we are all interconnected on this one Earth we share.   Places as disparate as the Central Valley Prairies of California, the Pyrenees Mountains of Navarra (Spain), and the Central Appalachian Shale Barrens of Virginia be part our collective story.

While there are a number of existing initiatives working in parts of the greater Pampas Amazónicas region, in particular the Grupo para los Llanos de Moxos and Conservación Amazónica Bolivia, there is still much to be done to enhance collaboration and communication, as well as to tackle issues not on the agendas of these initiatives. 

We are looking for friends, collaborators, supporters, ideas, questions, comments, whatever it is that moves you!
