Ayniglobal Mission
Our Mission is to protect and preserve traditional indigenous cultures and ancestral lands including people, animals, plants and water systems.
We engage by forming alliances and networks of leaders and professionals who understand the intrinsic value of safeguarding indigenous people and their lands. And, we advocate relentlessly for fair, meaningful, and sustainable policies that protect and preserve land and people.
Ayni is a Quechua word that means reciprocity among humans, and between people and nature. Ayni is the ethical fabric underlying the interconnectivity of our planet’s living systems. Ayni requires of us an attitude of respect and responsibility to all life.
