MISSION AND VISION

MISSION

The knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants is based on the observation, respect, use and practices of cultures. It is the deep knowledge of their culture and environment. It is transmitted from generation to generation and enriched by the cultural integration of the population.

We consider that it is of utmost urgency to recover and validate the use of medicinal plants, expand knowledge, conserve species and promote their cultivation, so that the cultural legacy of the Amazonian peoples continues to grow and benefit those who for centuries have accumulated and preserved this knowledge. Facing an invasive world of technological changes that permanently increases climate change.

VISION

The Botanical Garden of medicinal plants of Manu, will be a place that combines the natural beauty of the Amazon forest, with the magic of wildlife, where hundreds of birds, groups of monkeys and beautiful butterflies of the garden, will give visitors the opportunity to enjoy nature, but also to know and appreciate the fascinating world of medicinal plants. To contribute to the thought of environmental conservation for the sustainability of our territories.
