The mission of The Ecological Foundation Condorhuana is the protection of the environment by means of implementation of conservational practices, research, education, and the promotion of sustainable; alternative land and resource development in order to improve the quality of life of present and future generations while simultaneously minimizing and eliminating practices and behaviors harmful and detrimental to our environment. The development of local and global environmentalist consciousness and the establishment of a new social, moral and ecological ethical conduct pattern is accomplished through education and the raising of public awareness.

Management of Condorhuana is provided by the members of the Los Visionarios Intentional Community and founders of the  Utopian Eco-Village Network Federation.  We live in Ecuador and we are the ones that take care of the day-to-day challenges; working on all the projects development, implementation and completion stages.
