Neotropical Eco Foundation

The Neotropical Eco Foundation was formed on September 6, 2004. We are incorporated under the laws of Brazil that govern the formation of not-for-profit organizations and have our headquarters in Campinas, São Paulo.

Our mission statement, included in the articles of incorporation is as follows:

• Assure the preservation of native and migratory avian species within Brazilian territory by the preservation and recreation of natural habitat, stimulating land owners to increase this habitat with appropriate reforestation.
• Promote the creation of environmental preservation areas providing necessary monitoring and consultation so that the avian species can exist without human molestation through land acquisition or the creation of private reserves by the current land owners.
• Promote the creation of breeding centers for threatened species as well as rehabilitation centers where sick, injured or confiscated animals can be brought back to health and re-released into the wild.
• Promote education programs for the general population, and specifically the young, to increase understanding of the importance of animals (specially avians), plants and the general environment.
