Mission
The Amazon Conservation Team partners with indigenous and other local communities to protect tropical forests and strengthen traditional culture.
About
When tropical forests thrive, they are home to exceptionally diverse plants, animals, and human communities. Above the trees, vast rivers of vapor form that flow across the seas and help regulate water cycles across the globe. Underground, extremely complex networks of microorganisms communicate in languages mostly unknown to science. In the Amazon, the forest beats like the heart of the planet, pumping life, moisture, and beauty into being.
Unfortunately for the forest, it contains material riches, such as oil, gold, timber, and land that can be turned into short-term profits. Enormous stands of rainforest were wiped from the face of the Earth in the 19th and 20th centuries. This wreckage continues in the 21st. When indigenous and local communities object, they are often marginalized, or even exterminated.
We believe that our collective future depends on protecting these forests. Our work is focused on stopping threats to the forest and its people, or on mitigating those threats.
