Alianza Wichi is a non-profit organisation based in Spain and Argentina, working in partnership with Indigenous communities in the South American Gran Chaco region. We support regenerative development, the protection and enhancement of biodiversity, the preservation of ancestral knowledge, and the strengthening of cultural identity through collaborative, community-led initiatives.

Our work is based on participatory co-design, bringing together traditional Indigenous knowledge with scientific, legal and technological tools. We promote intercultural collaboration, the revitalisation of native languages and identity, and the training of young leaders equipped to meet contemporary challenges.
We aim to build inclusive, sustainable and resilient communities by integrating local experience with evidence-based planning and multidisciplinary expertise.
We are developing a network of interconnected Cultural and Natural Sanctuaries led by Indigenous communities of all the region’s ethnic groups: Wichi, Chorote, Nivaclé, Weenhayek, Chané, Guaraní, and Tapiete. These territories serve as models for environmental restoration, cultural continuity and regenerative development.
Each Sanctuary is a space where biodiversity is protected, food systems are strengthened, and ancestral knowledge is actively transmitted to younger generations.
