Fundación Entropika was established in 2007 by a group of dedicated conservationists, from varying backgrounds, based in Amacayacu National Park in the south of the Colombian Amazon. Entropika aims to contribute to the long-term conservation of tropical biodiversity by facilitating local community-led projects, establishing programmes of education and research whilst working closely with the local indigenous people to tackle conservation issues. Their approach encourages interdisciplinary cooperation regarding the management of biodiversity components, including in-situ conservation, community based research, law enforcement, environmental policies revision and the feasibility analyses of sustainable economic alternatives.
