CONSERVACION E INVESTIGACION AMBIENTAL

CIAM (CONSERVACION E INVESTIGACION AMBIENTAL) is a Peruvian nonprofit civil association founded in 2024 based on initiatives developed since 2021. Inspired by the Muchik word “ciam” (“life”), we work to promote the comprehensive development and well-being of society through biodiversity conservation, sustainable natural resource management, and climate action. We transform ancestral knowledge and practices into tools that contribute to global goals and public policies, strengthening the capacities of local communities. CIAM applies co-design with indigenous groups to establish actions for the integrated management of biodiversity and climate change, fully respecting their rights. We are currently implementing three projects in the high Andean ecosystems of Junín and one in the seasonally dry forests of Lambayeque.
