WIRA

Wiracocha Foundation we rescue, protect and promote the products of the our biodiversity, for a sustainable future.

The Foundation

We are a nonprofit organization based in South America - Peru. As a foundation our main goal is rescuing, preserving, promoting, and continue with the cause of development and innovation of the multiple and various pre-Hispanic cultures. This vast ancient wisdom is an endless source of knowledge, cultural background, tangible wealth, immeasurable ancient heritage.

Currently the main Wiracocha Foundation mission is to rescue the extensive agricultural wisdom hidden in the many surviving vestiges to the Spanish conquest. Among archaeological remains, inherited knowledge, indigenous cultural traditions, ethnobotany, folklore, etc. This make up the broad agricultural-botanical technological legacy of the pre-Hispanic cultures that we need to keep for use by future generations.

Through the enhancement of ancient agricultural engineering, coupled with modern techniques, we seek to promote agricultural innovation for the future. This involves rescuing, safeguard and promote hundreds of still existing and unknown crops in Peruvian territory. Through this great axis of participatory work we seek to benefit important aspects of our lines of action, and in this way give efficient and sustainable solutions to the existing socio economic problems.

Mission

Our mission is to rescue, preserve and promote the extensive biodiversity in Peruvian territory, (this thanks to three fundamental natural aspects of the varied Peruvian geology: cordillera of the andes, the "El Niño" phenomenon and effect anticyclone) coupled with the wide rich ancient wisdom.

Vision

Our future vision is to be an expanded and multi-sectoral organization. To become an institution that can contribute substantially to the development, and help improve environmental, social, and economic issues. In this way be able to extend our help and expertise to other parts of the Peru, America and the world.
