Advance Conservation in the Greatest Wild Forest on the Planet

Help protect wild places, empower people, and put science and technology to work

Why protect the Amazon?

Uniting science, people, and innovation for a thriving Amazon.

Amazon Conservation has been at the forefront of conservation work in the Amazon for over 25 years. Now more than ever, there is an urgent need to protect this important natural area – both for our planet’s future as well as a healthier present for those that call the Amazon home today.

Why Protect the Amazon

The Challenge: More than half of the Amazon may be destroyed by 2030. The forest is now reaching its tipping point.

Despite its globally-acknowledged importance, unchecked deforestation is taking the Amazon closer to its “tipping point” where it will no longer be able to generate its own rainfall and support its ecosystems.

By combining our boots-on-the-ground approach with the latest in science and technology, as well as working to empower local peoples, governments, and indigenous communities, we are making a difference to save the Amazon.
