What do we do?

Being a relevant actor in the territory, Defensores de la Naturaleza seeks to strengthen its work in local and national political advocacy, with the purpose of participating in decision making and in the formulation of public policies. Advocacy in the territories is carried out by grassroots organizations such as community and municipal development committees, municipal governments, and local governmental entities.

We also promote citizen participation through training for community leaders and decision-makers who participate in development and decision-making spaces, and we support associations, cooperatives, and local committees to strengthen their organizational system
