The remaining 20% funds our behaviour change and consciousness shift work with women to reinstate feminine leadership, and normalise collective ownership of planetary restoration.
Our Vision
We envision a world in which it is normal for everyone to protect and restore themselves and their world.
Our Mission
To rapidly accelerate tropical reforestation by inspiring and channeling women’s Nature-based feminine leadership into local and global action.

Teatro Amazonico de Iquitos
Teatro Amazonico de Iquitos is independent group that promotes culture in our city through theater.
We would like to support culture life and introduce new theater plays in Iquitos for our clients and public as well and introduce theater for broad spectrum of international tourists.
The oldest news about theater in the city of Iquitos is the one that is included in a brochure published in June 1888, in which it is said that on April 1, 1888 at the Variedades Theater the theater group Lovers of the scene staged the comedy of Mariano José de Larra, in one act and in prose titled Your love or death.
They point out that since its creation in 1962, the National University of the Peruvian Amazon has been the promoter of cultural activities in the town and promoter of theatrical practice through Spanish professors such as Manuel Benavides and José María Arroyo. The Amazon University Theater, TUA, was formed, which changed its name in the mid-seventies to Popular Theater, TEPO, and from the eighties it was called the UNAP Theater Group, GTUNAP, to finally be called Artistic Workshop today theatrical UNAP.
Other institutions that animated the theater scene from the 60s and 70s were: The Spanish Beneficence Society with its group Lope de Vega, the House of Culture whose group staged their works in the Arión Room Art Theater, The theater of this institution, the cultural association Bubinzana, which in its founding manifesto proposed the rescue of magic creating a theater group to fulfill this proposal. There is the group Okranka, which emerged in 1978, and only shows two works and disappears.
Likewise, among the factors that impede Amazonian development is the lack of a cultural policy in state institutions, the lack of an infrastructure for the staging of works, or specialized libraries, as well as the lack of financial support from public institutions and private. Over the years a series of theater groups have passed such as La Tinaja, Puca Manki, Huamvi, Caja Negra, Camino a la vida, Sui Sui, Huacapú, Kasangari, Armoni, Alpha and Omega, among others. The Amazonian theater go forward.
