Ayni Projects is proud to sponsor the Ucayali Botanical Garden Project, in Pulclpa, Ucayali, Peru.

The project was started in 2009 with the intent to reforest 6 hectares of land outside of Pulcalpa and transform it into a botanical garden for endangered medicinal plants of the Amazon. A small international group of students and healers from Russian, the United States, Peru, and Canada, have created the garden with hundreds of species of medicinal plants that have been recognized for hundreds of years for their healing properties.

The Mission of the Ucayali Garden Group is to continue to grow and maintain the plants and to expand operations to allow for the creation of an educational space that can be open to visitors and students of all ages who will be able to visit the garden, have direct contact with the plants, and learn about their history and healing properties.

Due the deforestation of this part of the rainforest and the consequent breakdown of indigenous communities and culture, families are forgetting the plants and their value.

The project aims to assist in help preserving the tradition of healing with plant medicines.

The Ucayali group will also be featuring practices of sustainable cultivation of the plants.
