Salvatierra (“save the Earth”) was founded in 2005 by Kristen Evans and Kathryn Krubsack to bring art and handicrafts from the Bolivian tropics to the U.S. Kristen spent two years in the village of Salvatierra as a Peace Corps volunteer, working with the villagers on a community forestry program, responsible for over 100,000 acres of tropical forest. Both Kristen and Kathryn fell in love with the warm, generous families, and their local traditions, rich in music and art.
