United for Biodiversity, Ancestral Wisdom, and Women
We are Trees&Circles, a Swiss non-profit foundation with the mission to support women led grassroot initiatives focused on ecosystems conservation and restoration.
This is our dedicated fundraising page for the project
Lake Junín or Chinchaycocha Wetlands Conservation
in Peru (South America).
Lake Junín ecosystem is a site of biodiversity, cultural and socio-economic local, national and regional significance. We are supporting our local partner ECOAN to protect the endangered biodiversity, via sustainable management of natural resources, revalorization of ancestral practices, community and government engagement, and women leadership empowerment.

This ecosystem has been particularly harmed by polluting mining activities, mismanagement of water leading to droughts and floods, illegal and unsustainable peat extraction leading to soil damage and flora degradation, climate change, and cattle overgrazing.
Successful interventions to protect and restore the ecosystem, need the integral and permanent community involvement and wisdom. They are key actors from the diagnosis to the activities ideation, execution and supervision. The external contribution is oriented towards mitigating the cumulative effect of negative impacts, and making already sustainable ancestral practices of resource management, even more sustainable given the current context.
Our local partner ECOAN has been working together with the local communities, the government and other conservationist NGOs, to protect and restore this ecosystem of biodiversity, cultural, and socio-economic significance.
Our contribution is to support local women leaders to identify and implement additional activities within the larger framework already in place. This is an opportunity for us to care for Mother Earth and contribute to a project of major systemic impact, while honoring and acknowledging ancestral traditions and women.
