Huya Aniwa intends to acquire thousands of acres of land in La Noria for biodiversity regeneration, becoming a model of Indigenous stewardship for the region and beyond.

Inspired by a decade of experience working in partnership with Indigenous grassroots reforestation and agroforestry projects worldwide, the Co-Founders of Huya Aniwa are dedicated to revitalizing La Noria in collaboration with Indigenous leadership local to Mexico and global experts, like Ashaninka leader Benki Piyãko and his team at Yorenka Tasorentsi. For years, Oscar and Vivien have mentored under Benki Piyãko. They both embodied vital roles in helping to build the infrastructure and support the reforestation of land home to Piyãko’s project, the Yorenka Tasorentsi Institute. 

Due to the region’s current climate, Huya Aniwa has focused on rehabilitating and developing sustainable water systems on its land in La Noria. To date, we have dug two wells, created water retention pools to harvest rain and feed the land, and a biopool, an eco-friendly pool for swimming and sustaining wildlife. 

Huya Aniwa’s building infrastructure is inspired by Indigenous design. It utilizes locally sourced recycled wood, palm, a local bamboo called “otaté,” and adobe. All the materials used are eco-friendly. Our infrastructure design also includes a water-capturing system to feed greywater to our plants with sustainable waste configurations. 

Indigenous reforestation is a highly developed technology practiced over millennia that guarantees a continuous, harmonious relationship between all living species and their environments. For example, Huya Aniwa has planted hundreds of fruit trees to make natural medicines, feed the people, and support the ecosystem around these trees, including insects and animals.
