2019 Impact Report
September 1, 2020
Dear Friend of the Amazon,
Looking back on 2019, so many moments served as vivid reminders of the important challenges humanity and our planet face. The fires in the Amazon and the global climate emergency were some that stood out to me and highlighted the amazing power we have as a collective force to bring about change. We hope you’ll be inspired by the results we achieved together, shown in our 2019 annual report. Each story here reflects a moment, person, or project that energized us and proved that your contributions are having a real impact.
Now, with the COVID-19 pandemic, our relationship with nature and the need to protect it has never been so important. It’s brought to light how paramount and timely our work is: the health of the forests we protect is directly connected to human wellbeing as well as the general health of our planet.
As we celebrate our 20th anniversary this year, we’re forging ahead with a new strategy to protect the Amazon with a new holistic approach that unites people, science, technology, and innovation to move conservation forward. We hope you’ll join us on this journey!
Sincerely,
John Beavers
Executive Director
