What We Do

Beach Cleanups

We protect Cartagena’s Bay and coastal ecosystems by fighting pollution, restoring marine habitats, and promoting sustainable practices to safeguard biodiversity.

Empowering People

We empower eco-dependent communities through education, sustainable livelihoods, and climate resilience programs, ensuring both people and nature thrive together.

Practicing Art

We use film, storytelling, and creative activism (like the TREES & SEAS Film Festival) to inspire environmental awareness and connect culture with conservation.
