Since its creation, the association’s goals have been to promote and highlight photographic art as a transformative tool for society on environmental and social issues.
To safeguard historical, cultural and artistic resources related to photography and natural heritage as a whole.
To encourage activities that directly contribute to artistic and cultural creation as means to improve personal growth, solidarity, and collective coexistence with the environment.
In this context, and as a complement to the many tasks already carried out, the archive is created with a clear vocation of public interest.
The creation of a nature and heritage photographic archive is an essential initiative for preserving, cataloguing, and disseminating visual heritage related to biodiversity and society’s relationship with the environment. This archive aims to become a reference tool for research, education, and awareness, providing access to a documentary collection of great historical, artistic, and scientific value.
The archive will be fed by both historical and contemporary images from professional photographers, amateurs, private collections and institutions, ensuring their preservation and accessibility for researchers, students, and the general public. Additionally, archive management will be accompanied by a strong effort in promotion and outreach through exhibitions, educational activities and workshops, especially aimed at children and youth, with the goal of fostering environmental and artistic awareness. These activities will be supported by specialists and carried out in collaboration with other organizations, museums and educational centers, encouraging the exchange of materials and the development of joint projects.
The creation of this archive will also support research projects and visual reports that contribute to the advancement of artistic and environmental education, with a focus on current challenges and possible solutions. To ensure the continuity and ongoing improvement of the archive, the association will work to secure resources and seek new opportunities to expand its content and impact. Through this initiative, the association aims to establish a space for memory and reflection that contributes to the preservation of natural and photographic heritage, and promotes a more conscious, supportive and environmentally respectful society.
