Economic development is and has been too often carried out at the expense of natural resources. In a context of global changes (6th biodiversity crisis, climate change, peak oil and energy crisis, unprecedented rise in world population, etc.), our current destructive development practices are leading us quickly and collectively to the brink.
To help change the dominant development paradigm, SalvaTerra has been providing tailor-made support and advice since 2012 to accompany and implement rural development projects - mainly in the countries of the South (Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia) but also in the countries of the North - that reconcile the sustainable management of terrestrial ecosystems and wealth creation for local populations (agricultural products, timber and non-timber forest products etc.).
Rural populations in the South are often in a state of severe deprivation, which only worsens as the surrounding 'natural capital' deteriorates. Faced with this situation, we approach our work with pragmatism and passion, adapting to the national context and the problem at hand and, above all, working with a results-oriented approach.

Our company is satisfied with this service. All requests for additional information have been submitted.

En juin 2025, SalvaTerra a conduit une mission de diagnostic de la filière de la rose de Damas en Turquie et une évaluation des dernières avancées en matière de droits humains. Celle-ci a combiné une analyse documentaire approfondie, des visites de parcelles, et des rencontres avec l’ensemble des acteurs : travailleurs saisonniers, agriculteurs, collecteurs, coopératives, transformateurs, associations locales et ONG. Cette étude a permis de formuler un plan d’action pragmatique pour continuer à porter cette filière d’importance vers un modèle conciliant durabilité et éthique, en améliorant notamment les conditions de vie et de travail à l’amont et à l’aval.
