Wild World Initiative employs 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 long-term initiatives 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 which increases the empirical understanding of the ecosystem to allow for informed conservation planning and management strategies.
