At ParCo, we envision a world where local communities affected by economic and environmental injustices are empowered to shape their own paths toward justice, biodiversity, and sustainable prosperity. To achieve this, our mission is to support local communities in developing solutions to environmental and social challenges.

We strive to earn the respect and trust of the communities we serve by:

1. Maintaining consistency and accountability to our partners,

2. Generating measurable and sustainable impacts, and

3. Most importantly, ensuring accountability to the communities we support.

We embrace Ubuntu ("I am because you are"), recognizing the interdependence and equality of all people and the environment as a core part of our worldview.

We honor local expertise - the lived experiences, aspirations, knowledge, and social structures of communities—as central to our approach to discovery and exploration.

We prioritize empathy, simplicity, and practicality as guiding principles in the way we work.
