PARTNERS & RECIPROCITY

Relationship should be visible in responsible practice.

KPA keeps recognition of Indigenous knowledge, ethical sourcing and practical reciprocity at the heart of its work.

AN ONGOING RELATIONSHIP

Connection with the Matsés

KPA's work is shaped by an ongoing relationship with the Matsés, who are among the traditional stewards of Kambo.

We believe practical support should reflect community priorities. Our commitment is to listen, source responsibly and be clear about the relationships and work we support.

We recognise that a relationship is not made complete by a single action. Responsible partnership calls for accuracy, humility and continued attention to what communities identify as useful.

HOW KPA APPROACHES PARTNERSHIP

Three principles for meaningful collaboration.

Recognition

Keep the Indigenous origins of Kambo visible and speak about traditions with accuracy and humility.

Reciprocity

Treat giving back as a continuing responsibility expressed through relationships and practical support.

Responsibility

Be transparent about the scope of a relationship and avoid using Indigenous identity as a marketing device.
