Hoja Nueva

Hoja Nueva is a dynamic 501(C)(3) non-profit (EIN: 47-4323459) working in the remote Las Piedras region of Madre de Dios, Peru. Our mission is to confront deforestation and defaunation in the Peruvian Amazon. To accomplish this, we aim to strategically acquire conservation lands and create corridors, build capacity within remote and indigenous communities through one health and alternative income opportunities, implement rigorous scientific research, and rescue, rehabilitate and reintroduce threatened species to the wild. Hoja Nueva also works with migrant communities that practice large-scale slash and burn agriculture to help them transition to more sustainable practices. Our cacao agroforestry farms also mitigate the environmental impact caused by more destructive practices, empowering migrant farmers to transition to sustainable practices and obtain fair wages. In an effort to expand our wildlife rescue and reintroduction endeavors, we have partnered to create our sister organization and new wildlife sanctuary, Wild World Initiative. Wild World will be based out of our 1,500 hectares of patrolled rainforest located far up the Las Piedras River, where we will scale and upgrade our infrastructure to rehabilitate and reintroduce wildlife with greater efficacy.
