OIOC’s Reciprocity Efforts
Amazon Conservation
Restoring native biodiversity and empowering 369 Kamëntsá families with resources to sustain their ancestral agricultural practices.
Kamëntsá Knowledge Revitalization
Supporting Indigenous resilience through language revitalization programs, rebuilding homes for families in need, providing essential resources for community well-being, and creating artisan support networks through sustainable sales channels.

Why Reciprocity Matters in Ayahuasca Work
A Shared Responsibility
-
Modern psychedelic research owes its foundation to the Indigenous communities who have safeguarded plant medicine traditions. True progress demands equitable partnerships that respect and uplift these communities.
-
By supporting the Kamëntsá, we preserve their cultural heritage and enhance the collective understanding of holistic healing.
The Challenges We Address |
OIOC Amazon Conservation
At OIOC, we recognize that Indigenous communities — the original stewards of the Amazon — face profound and interconnected challenges:
Loss of Land and Culture
-
Sacred territories and biodiversity disrupted by colonization and deforestation
-
OIOC restores native lands, protects sacred plants, and revitalizes ancestral knowledge
Exploitation of Indigenous Knowledge
-
Sacred plant wisdom isolated and commercialized in modern research
-
OIOC safeguards cultural integrity through Indigenous-led education and ceremonial preservation
Poverty and Marginalization
-
Indigenous communities are excluded from financial and social benefits of their own knowledge
-
OIOC provides home rebuilding, basic needs support, artisan empowerment, and funds community resilience through healing retreats
