Our Approach

More than half of the Amazon Rainforest may be destroyed or severely damaged by 2030 with catastrophic effects on our daily lives.

At Amazon Conservation, we understand that we cannot protect this massive forest alone.

We work together with local communities, governments, indigenous groups, scientists, and partner organizations to protect this vital place for local inhabitants and future generations. We focus our efforts on on-the-ground conservation solutions that have a lasting impact in the region.

Our holistic approach focuses on three strategies:

Protecting Wild Places

Creating, managing and protecting some of the last wild places on Earth in the headwaters of the Amazon.

Applying Our Approach on the Ground and Beyond

On-the-Ground Conservation on 124M Acres of the Southwest Amazon

We implement direct conservation solutions across 124 million acres of the Bolivian and Peruvian Amazons, the most biodiverse place on Earth. Larger than the state of California, this region contains a distinct set of interconnected iconic landscapes whose unique characteristics shape how we deploy our approach in each place.

Where Do We Work on the Ground? >

Bolstering Conservation Across the Entire Amazon

The landscape where our on-the-ground efforts take place in Bolivia and Peru is a microcosm of the entire Amazon and a living laboratory for finding solutions that are applicable well beyond our boundaries. We scale our impact by engaging and bringing together partners at the national level in Bolivia and Peru, as well as in other Amazonian  countries where they can implement similar approaches.

The Amazon Conservation Alliance:

Our unique alliance is comprised of three local nonprofit organizations in three countries united under a mutual mission to protect the Amazon. Legally separate but functioning as a single entity, we work on the ground in Bolivia and Peru, delivering conservation results that build local and national capacity and knowledge, while devoting our presence in Washington D.C. to amplify our work, expanding our scope and connections on an international scale.

All of the Amazon Conservation Association’s work is comprised of joint efforts made on behalf of all of these organizations.

“No other organization is as committed to the conservation of this critical geography, its people, and its ecosystems… in fact, I’d say Amazon Conservation is the best organization that I have worked with in my 40 years in conservation, including my time as Secretary of the Interior.” - Bruce Babbitt, Amazon Conservation Board Member
