Who we are and our vision

The Palomino Project – Saving the Amazon (PPSA) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 2018. PPSA is based in the Amazon basin, state of Loreto, Peru.


The Palomino Project is dedicated to the accumulation and conservation of indigenous knowledge, medicinal plants and traditional methods of use, as well as preservation of the environment where these plants are located. Provide help in the area of health, education and all those services that are required without any discrimination, promote the creation of environmental studies, coordinate, collaborate and maintain relations with all institutions for similar purposes, national and foreign to support the task that our corporate purpose includes.

Our vision is to create educational/medical centers, botanical gardens and arboretums in rural villages with the goal of saving and ensuring sustainable availability of these plants and preserving the information on how to use them.
The educational centers will be places the village elders can document their pharmacological knowledge and pass this knowledge on to the next generation. Intrinsic to this effort will be the scientific identification of the plants and a corresponding compilation of an indigenous language dictionary.


The centers will also serve as medical clinics to provide health care to the area’s inhabitants.


The botanical gardens and arboretums will provide a source of plant material for study and help prevent the over-harvesting of resources in the natural environment. They will also promote low impact tourism.
