Who we are

Caring for nature is caring for our own history.

Every territory holds a memory. In its trees, its landscapes, the water running through its soils and the communities that live there. Protecting that wealth also means preserving our identity and building new possibilities for the generations to come.

Fundación Molle is an organization committed to ecosystem conservation, ecological restoration and strengthening the bond between communities and their natural environment.

From the Punilla Valley, in the province of Córdoba, we drive initiatives that bring together care for the native forest, environmental education, community participation and the development of sustainable opportunities linked to the territory.

We believe that conserving does not only mean protecting what exists. It also means recovering what has been degraded, sharing knowledge, recognizing local wisdom and creating spaces where people can take an active part in caring for their environment.

Our outlook brings together nature, education and community. We understand that environmental challenges cannot be tackled in isolation: they need collective commitment, knowledge and a respectful relationship with ecosystems.

Among our initiatives is the Reserva Ecoeducativa Bialet Massé, a project that seeks to bring together conservation, restoration, learning and community participation in one territory.

Focus

  • Ecosystem conservation
  • Ecological restoration
  • Environmental education
  • Community participation

We work with one conviction: the future of our landscapes also depends on the relationships we are able to build between people and nature.

Because a living territory is, above all, a shared future.

Focus

How we work

Ecological restoration

Recovery of mountain ecosystems degraded by recurrent fires.

Environmental education

Experiential learning in the territory itself, with schools and community.

Green jobs

Promotion of sustainable productive activities linked to the regional bioeconomy.

Networking

A bridge between kinds of knowledge

We work with the academic sector, government bodies and local communities. The team brings together coordinators, forestry technicians and educators, and relies on a network of community volunteers and partner academic institutions.

Our territorial base is in Bialet Massé, in the Punilla Valley, Córdoba province.

Network of organizations

Stronger together

We have the support of Fundación Gran Chaco, an organization that works for the socio-environmental development of the American Gran Chaco and collaborates with the Reserva Ecoeducativa Bialet Massé project.

This network will keep growing: we are adding organizations that share care for the territory and environmental education.
