Founded in 1984 by researchers and professionals to create new alternatives for action in the field of nature conservation, SPVS advocates that natural areas are essential to life and an integral part of all businesses. Since its foundation, SPVS has been committed to conducting innovative projects, ensuring technical, administrative, and financial quality in its initiatives through integrated management, and ensuring transparency in its processes. <\/p>

Throughout its history, institutional management processes, project monitoring, and evaluation of results and risks have been implemented and improved, as well as other tools that provide clearer, faster, and more precise decision-making.<\/p>

Today, the institution is composed of a General Assembly\u2014the supreme body in the structure responsible for preparing the activity reports and balances, as well as electing members of the Deliberative and Fiscal Councils.<\/p>

The Deliberative Council’s function is to discuss goals, guidelines, and performance indicators, as well as to assist in the development of fundraising programs, decide on asset acquisition, and appoint the executive director. The Fiscal Council is responsible for issuing opinions on the balances sent by the Executive Board, opining on financial operations, and overseeing compliance with the institution’s Statute. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
