Not conservation. Regeneration.
Conservation tries to hold a line. Regeneration moves the line forward — restoring soil, water, species, and human relationship to land in the same gesture.
A base, not a brochure.
GCCG started where most NGOs end: with a permanent operating presence on the ground. Base Marítima Seca is our year-round base in Zorritos — coordinates -3.6726° S, -80.6707° W — at the rare intersection of the Humboldt current and the Pacific tropical dry forest.
Everything we publish, plant, and propose comes out of that base. The field log on this site is not marketing. It is the daily record of an operating ecological station.
From there, we work outward — north into Tumbes, east across the corridor toward Loja, and downward into the soil that holds it all together.
The land remembers. Our job is to give it the conditions to do so.
- 01Operate from a permanent base, not a project cycle.
- 02Measure regeneration in soil, water, and species — not in press releases.
- 03Treat communities as ecological stewards, not beneficiaries.
- 04Follow water across borders. Hydrology does not respect administrative lines.
- 05Publish everything. Daily logs, methodology, fund use — all open.
