SalvaTerra Environment, Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development Consultancy Firm

Tailor-made support and advice for the success of natural resource development and management actions in the countries of the South.

Environment, agriculture, forestry and rural development

Salvaterra

It is urgent
to act

Economic development is and has been too often carried out at the expense of natural resources. In a context of global changes (6th biodiversity crisis, climate change, peak oil and energy crisis, unprecedented rise in world population, etc.), our current destructive development practices are leading us quickly and collectively to the brink.

Think globally,
Act locally

To help change the dominant development paradigm, SalvaTerra has been providing tailor-made support and advice since 2012 to accompany and implement rural development projects - mainly in the countries of the South (Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia) but also in the countries of the North - that reconcile the sustainable management of terrestrial ecosystems and wealth creation for local populations (agricultural products, timber and non-timber forest products etc.).

Love of work
Well done

Rural populations in the South are often in a state of severe deprivation, which only worsens as the surrounding 'natural capital' deteriorates. Faced with this situation, we approach our work with pragmatism and passion, adapting to the national context and the problem at hand and, above all, working with a results-oriented approach.

My organization is satisfied with the execution of this service in terms of the quality of the work rendered in a context of execution constrained by the health crisis.
