Runa Foundation works to improve local livelihoods to conserve tropical biodiversity. By creating value for “chakras,” or traditional agroforestry systems, our model serves to mitigate the effects of climate change, prevent forest degradation, and improve indigenous livelihoods. Working with indigenous communities, Runa provides technical assistance, trainings, and workshops to build local capacity. Runa collaborates with a diverse network of local, regional, and international entities from the public, private, and civil sectors to support sustainable production and land management projects while maintaining a focus on social and environmental responsibility.
