Associación Mundo Azul      We believe that it is necessary to integrate nature conservation with the fight against poverty, sustainable development and improvement of human and animal welfare. Nowadays, living in an interconnected world, conservation cannot be restricted to marine environments on the one hand or protected areas on the other hand, but has to work in all existing environments, including the urban environment or agricultural and industrial landscapes.Therefore, Mundo Azul works throughout Peru on a wide range of topics while maintaining our marine conservation efforts. Mundo Azul envisions a future in which humans have learned to live in harmony with their own kind, other species and nature itself. Natural resources will be used in a sustainable way, for human and animal welfare. The continuity of natural cycles will be a key issue of economic development, poverty will have been overcome and the size of the human population will stay within the limits of our planets carrying capacity. Mundo Azul contributes to the conservation of biological diversity and nature, to sustainable development, to poverty reduction and to improved human and animal welfare. Our objectives are to support, strengthen and implement all necessary measures for the conservation of nature and biodiversity, through field work, research, environmental education, media work, political action and advocacy.
