Inkaterra's Role

At INKATERRA, we strongly believe that we all need to change our behaviors as individuals, as countries and as a global community. We all contribute to global warming; thus, everyone needs to be part of the solution. Since 1975, based on a principle of respect for the ecosystem, INKATERRA has been developing conservation programs to preserve the natural characteristics of the Amazon rainforest, which helps prevent global warming.

Inkaterra protects more than 17,000 hectares of original forest, helping to reduce directly 3,315,000 tons of carbon. This measurement was initiated in 1989 by England University of Leeds and Institute for Earth and Biosphere, professor-specialists Dr. Oliver Philips and Dr. Timothy R. Baker at the Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica, the first site in Peru where carbon fixes were measured.

Furthermore, INKATERRA indirectly fixes more than 12,600 ton/CO2/ha/year through its support of a variety of external conservation programs and all Inkaterra hotels use clean technology and eco-friendly practices (green operations).

With these programs, Inkaterra has become a truly Carbon-Neutral organization, and every guest at Inkaterra hotels has a 100% Carbon Neutral.
