The environment is a very topical issue and we are all aware of the seriousness of the situation. We should all be interested in the issue of ecology, how to avoid pollution and waste of natural resources, we are all involved and it is a global concern for us and future generations. Light, water and other energies are something we take great care of. We try to recycle things, give them new life, and we use plastic only when we have no other options. In addition, the foundation's constructions or buildings are made with natural materials such as mud, bamboo or guadua.

"Canto a la vida" is a refuge for all beings in need but also a sanctuary of nature, around there are plants that we use to feed and heal ourselves as well as to clean the place. That is why a huge vegetable garden project is being developed on the property. In addition, although we use traditional medicines to cure some animal diseases, we try not to use chemical products but natural ones.

These are actions that allow us to use resources to meet current needs, taking into account that all beings, organisms and ecosystems must be preserved. These ways of being in the world must not compromise the possibility of our children to enjoy our planet, which needs the capacity to regenerate itself. As always, it is a question of balance between economic growth, environmental care and social welfare.

When we work with abandoned or street animals, they are often sick and injured. Treatments are an important part of the daily life of the shelter and sometimes some dogs or cats need frequent treatments.

We do not forget traditional medicine, in fact we use it often but our way is to first try to heal with the wonders that nature gives us, and if it does not work because sometimes it is not enough, then we use the classic medicines.

At "Canto a la vida", we live at the rhythm of nature and the animals we take care of, we listen to the messages of Pacha Mama and we cultivate mind, body and soul to achieve balance.

Following the philosophy of respect for all the inhabitants of Mother Earth, the humans of the foundation eat vegan, without any animal products and enjoying the delicious fruits and vegetables from this side of the world. Some consequences of meat production are: the environmental impact, and it takes the medal for the most polluting industry, the magnitude of the spaces needed for that production along with the animal suffering involved. It is time to act differently, we understand that it is a slow process of adaptation, in fact our animals continue to feed on meat, mostly donated, in addition to the vegetables and legumes that are prepared daily to nourish their bodies and spirits.

For this reason, the team at "Canto a la vida" is making a large vegetable garden, with many medicinal plants as well as vegetables and fruit trees. We try to share our philosophy with the inhabitants and collaborators of the foundation, as well as with anyone who is interested.
