Program accomplishments

  • WILD PALM TREE CONSERVATION. In 2024, Caura Futures continued focusing on improving wild palm fruit processing infrastructure in Peru. This includes export of parts to Peru for U.S. made machines, in addition to helping to build local capacity in Iquitos, a rural city isolated from the road network. In 2024 we made a concerted effort to improve sales revenue for local partners by supporting a pulp sales position. We increased our contract manufacturing of palm climbing gear in southern California. That gear was distributed to harvesters in community workshops in communities both new to us and where gear needed replacement. We continued supporting fruit prospecting and purchases when needed.
    Expenses $143,742
  • CULTURAL LIBRARY PROJECT. Caura Futures supported indigenous community access to cultural library archives in the Caura Basin in 2024. We funded travel and meetings aimed at increasing community usage of the cultural library. The project again supported detailed video documentation of the traditional craft of dugout canoe building. In Ecuador, we provided our mobile application for community access to cultural library archives, with a particular focus on reaching indigenous school children. In Ecuador, Caura Futures is working with members of several indigenous groups to facilitate efficient access to archives that they have been building for over two decades. The focus is on language revitalization and bolstering traditional ecological knowledge using audiovisual techniques and a wiki data storage system. We produced printed plus audio books designed by community members. These were printed for distribution We estimate that over 2,500 school children are involved in the program. Literacy in native languages among grade school children has improved markedly through project efforts.
    Expenses $78,352
