About us
Pro REGENWALD is committed to protecting and conserving the natural diversity of forests, particularly - but not exclusively - in tropical regions. Working in cooperation with indigenous peoples and the local population Pro REGENWALD seeks to contribute to a development which is sensitive to local realities.
In pursuit of these objectives, Pro REGENWALD supports projects and individuals working towards the same goals and links them with each other. The organisation conducts background research about deforestation and forest degradation and provides information about the underlying causes. Pro REGENWALD also works towards reducing the drivers of global forest destruction.
We believe that forests, like other ecosystems, can only be preserved if humanity adopts a globally sustainable lifestyle and economic system. Industrialized states need to take a leading role, acting as driving force where innovative and fundamental change is required and possible.
Pro REGENWALD has set itself four main goals:
1. To conserve and protect the natural diversity of forests, particluarly in tropical zones – but also in other regions – and restore degraded forests.
2. To protect indigenous people and their cultures promoting their sovereignty and development.
3. To run educational projects, conduct research and to halt policies destructive of forests and our wasteful economy, encourageing consumers to adopt an environmentally sustainable lifestyle.
4. To facilitate working towards forest conservation for projects in countries with a high deforestation rate by transferring financial means and offering advice.

Dear supporters,
It is great to see that "Créditos Semillita" is reaching more and more people. The direct promotion of projects through small amounts of money has proven to be a good way to support the Asháninka in creating a sustainable economy.
So far, 69 interest-free microcredits have been granted to people from the following native communities: Cushiviani, Atahualpa, San Jacinto de Shauriato, Huantashiri, Boca Cheni, Yavirironi, Bajo Capiri, Pueblo Joven Pitocuna, Somontonari, Sinchijaroqui and Río Bertha. Women and men of the Asháninka people living in the town of Satipo also received microcredits and were able to implement their ideas. New photos from the last few months can be seen in the picture gallery.
In the native community of Río Bertha, after 7 families took part in the small loans program, the idea arose to purchase a cargo motorcycle for communal use. This gave rise to a new project: https://www.wirwunder.de/projects/129272?wirwunder=283
Other native communities have heard about "Créditos Semillita" and are keen to take part. The village chief of the Chontakiari community contacted Jhenny and José from Imperita and asked for support. The aim is to grow turmeric, manioc, cocoa, maize and bananas. This is a sign that our microcredits are not just seen as individual support, but as a way of strengthening entire native communities. We find this new development extremely important and want to grant 5 microcredits for Chontakiari in the coming months.
Kind regards
Pro REGENWALD & Imperita
