Help Preserve Plant Medicines in the Amazon!

In February of this year, an unprecedented flood swept through the Ucayali River region of the Peruvian Amazon—the worst in over 15 years. Entire communities were affected, including the Shipibo community of Maestro Inin and his brother Maestro Soi, two respected indigenous healers and stewards of sacred medicinal plants in the Amazon Rainforest. Many of the plants they’ve cultivated and cared for with devotion were lost.

But with your help, we can rebuild.

The Vision

Maestro Inin and his brother are now working to purchase new land at a higher altitude, a safer place to regrow and protect these sacred plants from future climate impacts. More than just preservation, this land will serve as:

• A living library of native medicinal plants

• A training ground for other Shipibo traditional healers to deepen their medicinal practice

• A space to protect and pass on irreplaceable indigenous knowledge

This isn’t just about plants — it’s about culture, healing, and resilience.
