In December, A Rocha Perú organized a special trip to Trujillo as a gesture of gratitude to community members who played a key role in conservation throughout the year, including artisans, volunteers, and local partners. The gathering not only strengthened relationships but also provided a valuable opportunity for exchanging experiences and learning in settings that underscored the importance of conservation and teamwork.
During the visit, participants explored the stunning Conache, a tourist destination nestled within a dry forest ecosystem. The experience highlighted the crucial role of community collaboration in protecting these landscapes and promoting sustainable tourism.
The group also visited the archaeological sites of Moche and Chan Chan—areas of significant historical and cultural importance, both surrounded by dry forest. These excursions encouraged reflection on the deep connection between natural and cultural heritage, as well as the shared responsibility to preserve them for future generations.
The trip stood as a testament to the power of community, demonstrating that collective efforts can make a meaningful impact on conservation and sustainable development. A Rocha Perú extended heartfelt thanks to all who took part in this enriching experience and for their ongoing commitment to protecting the environment.
