Alianza Wichi is a collaborative initiative aimed at co-creating sustainable solutions with indigenous communities in the Gran Chaco region of Argentina. The organization focuses on co-designing projects with local communities to protect biodiversity, preserve ancestral knowledge, and promote food and financial autonomy.

Our core values include respect for indigenous rights, ecological regeneration, social equity, and co-creation. We emphasize the importance of harmony between nature and society to build resilient models for the future.

By promoting the active participation of various groups, including women and youth, the SAFs become an integral and sustainable form of agricultural production that promotes the conservation of natural resources and strengthens the cohesion and well-being of communities.

We operate primarily in the Gran Chaco region in northern Argentina, with a focus on Tartagal and its surroundings. This area is strategically important for preserving the unique ecosystems between the Chaco plains and the Yungas forests.

The main goal is to create a 593-hectare cultural and natural sanctuary that demonstrates the possibility of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature while fostering ecological resilience and local autonomy. Additionally, the sanctuary is designed to serve as a replicable model of resilience for other geographical areas in the future.

The Gran Chaco is the second-largest ecosystem in South America, rich in biodiversity and crucial for the climate. However, it is gravely threatened by deforestation and climate change, directly impacting local communities.

We work with public authorities and organizations within Redes Chaco network, as well as international partners like the Funghi Foundation and Life Terra. Our partnerships also include local authorities, scientific experts, and indigenous leaders who collaborate with us to maximize the impact of our initiatives.
