We carry out participatory scientific research projects, cultural programs and support communities and their popular economies in their territories
Our promise
We seek to improve the well-being of communities and care for their environment. This is the focus that we always keep in mind.
In community
Our work is and will only be possible through mutual agreement, collaboration with the community to promote their quality of life and their connection with the preservation of the biodiversity of their territory.
Connecting(us)
We propose participatory research in our projects, imagining a dialogue between ancestral knowledge and the latest scientific advances.
Sustainability
We navigate this path with care and respect. We promote sustainable practices to preserve our environment and ensure a better future for the communities we work with.
Susana Caballero
Her research interest has focused on the use of molecular techniques to describe the population structure, conservation genetics and evolutionary processes of different groups of aquatic vertebrates. The objective of this line of research is to obtain new sources of information, to increase our knowledge about these species and their communities, thus improving their management programs.
Shee has researched species such as humpback whales, sharks, fish, manatees, turtles, and marine and river dolphins. She has always sought to connect her scientific research trajectory with the local communities that inhabit its territories and, thanks to this, she has worked with organizations, groups and foundations in different regions of Colombia, developing environmental conservation projects.
Giuseppe Basile Rodriguez
His journey began with a deep connection to the ocean through freediving, which evolved into scientific diving and underwater filmmaking. An interdisciplinary professional with experience in cinematography, marine biology, and community-based social work, he focus on creating visual narratives that connect science with community life. His work integrates audiovisual production and nature photography as tools for scientific outreach and social transformation, with a strong emphasis on citizen science and participatory environmental education.
He have collaborated with coastal and rural communities, promoting marine conservation through projects that combine scientific research, audiovisual documentation and local empowerment.
He aims to build bridges between community experience and scientific knowledge, using visual art as a medium to raise awareness, promote collective action and preserve biodiversity.
Miguel Rodriguez
Biologist and MSc in Oceanography. He focused his studies on marine biology and specifically developed a deep fascination for marine mammals. His research and study interests are focused on marine mammal acoustics conservation and ecology, carrying out research projects in order to improve our understanding of behavior, population structure and the ecology itself of different species.
Nadine Hakim
She is a student at the University of Los Andes, passionate about the genetics and population structure of sea turtles.
Her creativity and love for everything related to the sea has driven her to explore and work on the conservation of these fascinating marine creatures.
With an innovative approach, Nadine aims to contribute to the knowledge and protection of sea turtles, fusing her passion for science with her admiration for the ocean.
Adopt a Humpback Whale, Gray River Dolphin and/or Hawksbill Turtle!
Our adoption program gives aquatic life lovers the unique opportunity to support the conservation of these species. By adopting a humpback whale, tucuxi dolphin, and/or hawksbill turtle, you are directly contributing to the research and conservation efforts that protect their habitats and populations.
Support!
Our beautiful fabric keychains, bags and pencil cases with motifs of the biodiversity of Chocó and the Amazon region are handmade by talented seamstresses from this areas, in order to preserve the local artisan tradition and provide economic opportunities to their communities and the scientific research that seeks to preserve them their ecosystems.
Join us in this joint effort for a more supportive and sustainable world!
