Rainforest Flow and our Founder & Executive Director, Nancy Santullo, are honored to have been recognized by Engineer Ernesto John Florez, Chief of Manu National Park, for our long-term service to four Indigenous communities in the Manu Biosphere Reserve.
This recognition is shared with the entire Rainforest Flow team—and with the Indigenous people we are so proud to work with. Through our partnership with Manu National Park, these communities now have access to clean water, dignified sanitation in homes and schools, and improved health and well-being—the foundation of a thriving life in their homeland.
As Peru’s first national park and one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth, Manu is a powerful example of how environmental protection and Indigenous wellbeing go hand in hand.

When Indigenous communities are healthy, so are ours. When their forests thrive, the planet breathes easier.
By protecting clean water, native wisdom, and rich biodiversity, we’re helping ensure a healthier future for all communities—near and far.
This Earth Day, we unite with the Indigenous stewards of the Amazon—the guardians of some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. 🌿🌎
