Read moreThe mission of the Trust is to magnify the Kogis’ voice, to help them defend their culture and its territorial integrity and to learn from them how to better protect the planet which we all share.
The Kogi are descendants of the Tairona and are the last surviving civilization from the world of the Inca and Aztec.
They are an indigenous people who consider themselves to be the guardians of the earth and are worried by our attempts to destroy it.
The mountain - in Colombia - is their home, it is quite literally a microcosmos, a mirror of the planet on which every ecological zone is represented. The impact of the modern world is affecting their environment and from their vantage point on the mountain they can see how this is damaging the rest of the planet.
The Trust needs your help to support this mission.

The Movie
The follow up film was made 25 years later at the request of the Kogi Mamas because they said we had not heard them the first time.
1
We will offer the Kogi a way to communicate directly with the wider world.
2
We will respond to, and publicise, requests by the Kogi for help in protecting their territory and culture.
3
We will learn from the Kogi about their understanding of environmental management and publicise that knowledge through all media.
4
We will implement initiatives to educate young people about the principles and way of life of the Kogi in order to protect the planet for future generations.
Support UsThe Kogi message is important for us all. They consider themselves to be the guardians of the earth and are worried by our attempts to destroy it. They want their voice and knowledge to be heard around the world and for us to take action to protect the planet that we all share. The Kogi need your help to do this.
