The IAP works together with
grassroot organizations and
public or private institutions
that are committed to the
design of sustainable human
settlements in any biophisic,
social, ecological or cultural
context, and to preserve,
restore and understand natural
ecosystems, integrating traditional
and modern disciplines, knowledge

PAL
began its activities in
South America with its first
projects in Ecuador in 1989.
In the Andes a bilingual
education school was created
in Cayambe and on the coast
in San Lorenzo a series
of community programs were
developed around the nucleus
of a permaculture farm model
which has since become a
regionally important seed
bank. In the Amazon work
with the Huaorani has been
the subject of a prize winning
book and numerous articles
in magazines such as the
New Yorker. Our students
have been the recipients
of the Rolex Award and numerous
Community Service awards.
Peru
Permacultura
America Latina Peru http://www.permacultura.org/peru.html
PAL began working with the
Shipibo in early 1995 in
the Ucayali region of the
Peruvian Amazon. A village
development program resulted
in the construction of five
wells, a womens sewing and
kitchen cooperative and
an agroforestry system.
Working with indigenous
fishermen we pioneered the
development of the Shipibo
aquaculture model.
The
Permaculture Institute of
El Salvador (IPES) was founded
as an independent organization
in 2002 by small farmers
concerned to halt the destruction
of their environment and
way of life. Over the past
6 years, we have built a
network of subsistence farmers
who work with ecological
farming methods. We have
a training centre and 4
demonstration permaculture
sites, the most important
of which is the ecological
community La Florida in
the La Libertad department.
Our aim is to train community
leaders within poor rural
areas to enable them to
tackle the environmental
crises that face them.

Our work in Guatemala began
in 1995, in and around San
Lucas Toliman in the country’s
central highlands. Early
support led to a profitable
fair trade program for 300
indigenous organic coffee
growers. Building on this
achievement, numerous other
small cooperative projects
were initiated, among them
work with orphaned children
and local women. Our rapidly
growing mission led to the
formation of the Institute
of MesoAmerican Permaculture
(IMAP) in 2000, and a beautiful
parcel of land was purchased
on the shores of Lake Atitlan,
becoming the new, permaculture
reference center.

a Mexican non-profit organization
dedicated to providing sustainable
solutions, mainly through
appropriate technologies
for rural communities. The
ITT ("Mother Earth"

out of the conviction that
a new vision is necessary
to accomplish positive change
in the Mexican countryside,
a vision inspired in stewardship
of all that is sacred in
Nature and in human beings.
