• Expand innovation and research: providing the data, tools, and analyses that drive climate-smart conservation strategies.

 

Your Impact in Action

Because of the generosity of donors like you, our teams on the ground are able to:

• Protect vital ecosystems from growing pressures including agriculture, infrastructure, and resource extraction.

• Stop illegal deforestation through comprehensive real-time monitoring and analysis and coordinated on-the-ground response.

• Grow forest-based economies that provide sustainable livelihoods and keep forests standing.

While Black Friday often fuels overconsumption, its alternative Green Friday offers something different—a moment to pause, reflect, and choose impact over excess. It’s an opportunity to uplift businesses that intentionally center sustainability, community, and environmental stewardship in everything they do. These companies measure success not only in profit, but in the real, lasting good they generate for people and the planet.

At Amazon Conservation, we believe every choice matters. When you support businesses that prioritize responsibility and purpose, you help protect the Amazon rainforest, empower Indigenous and local communities, and invest in a healthier future for all.

This Green Friday, we’re proud to spotlight partners who embody these values, and share simple ways you can amplify your impact.

What is National Philanthropy Day?

National Philanthropy Day, celebrated annually on November 15th since the 1980s, is dedicated to recognizing and reflecting on the impact of philanthropists like you, who selflessly share their resources to make the world a better place.

Why Do You Give?

National Philanthropy Day is a time to reflect on what motivates us to give and on the good that can come from giving. Amazon Conservation Board Member Jim Brumm shares why he has been supporting our mission for nearly a decade:

When visiting our biological research stations in 2016, Jim was inspired by the great work he saw on the ground from Amazon Conservation, both in better understanding the Amazon through science and in preventing illegal deforestation from logging and gold mining. 

But we can’t do it alone! We hope that the spirit of National Philanthropy Day has you even more inspired to join us today in our fight to keep the Amazon standing. Each gift helps protect the Amazon’s forests for people, wildlife, and the planet. 

Donate Today

Celebrating All the Ways You Give

The result is a strategic collaboration that blends Murata’s concept, storytelling, and production with Amazon Conservation’s field-based knowledge to produce a visually rich, educational, and emotionally compelling series. Viewers are taken from Waimea Valley to the heart of the Amazon, exploring its biodiversity, learning from Indigenous stewards, and understanding the urgent need for action to protect this irreplaceable ecosystem for future generations.

National Philanthropy Day is meant to serve as a thank-you for all forms of giving; whether it’s an annual contribution, a sustained, monthly gift, engaging your community by starting your own fundraiser, or naming Amazon Conservation as a beneficiary in your will or estate plan, your support motivates our work.

Don’t forget to check whether your impact can be doubled– your workplace may offer matches!

Plus, did you know that non-cash giving can actually save you money while making a greater impact in the Amazon? For example, a direct gift of appreciated stock can avoid capital gains taxes and be deducted from your taxable annual income! And without the additional step of liquidating your stock and donating cash, the transfer is not taxed, so the full market value of your stock goes right to the rainforest! You can expect to see similar benefits from other tax-smart giving options like Qualified Charitable Distributions, Donor-Advised Funds, and even cryptocurrency! Learn more by visiting our Ways to Give webpage.

⚠️In case you missed it: tax laws will change starting January 1, 2026. 

Make your gift today to maximize your tax benefits before these changes go into effect! Here are a few changes we can expect from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

1. For donors who itemize rather than claim the standard deduction:  

• Under the new rules, the first portion of charitable giving won’t be deductible for some donors, thereby reducing the after-tax value of gifts. To maximize their deductions, many donors are preemptively ‘bunching’ multiple years of gifts into 2025 to maximize their deductions– often via Donor-Advised Funds. 
• In addition to this ‘floor,’ new provisions will also add a cap that limits how much of your gift is deductible. This could significantly lower the tax benefits of giving, making 2025 a critical year to act. If you’re considering a substantial cash or stock gift, or planning to contribute to a Donor-Advised Fund, completing that gift by December 31 ensures that you can deduct under the current, more favorable rules.

2. For donors aged 65+: The Bill also created a new tax deduction this year for which only those aged 65+ are eligible. In addition to the pre-existing additional standard deduction for seniors, seniors may now claim an additional charitable deduction of up to $6,000 per individual. Make sure to take advantage of this change while it is in effect!

The Casa do Jornalismo Socioambiental (House of Environmental Journalism) brings together leading Brazilian journalists and media outlets to amplify local voices and share stories about the Amazon, climate, and the environment, aiming for broader national and international reach.

Belém, Brazil, November 4 – Even before COP30 officially begins (it is set to be held from November 10 to 21 in Belém), the city will pioneer a new initiative: the Casa do Jornalismo Socioambiental (House of Environmental Journalism).

The space will serve as an operational base to host journalists from across Brazil and will feature an extensive schedule of activities for communications professionals and civil society. Activities will start on November 3 and are the result of a collaborative effort to bring in new local and global perspectives and expand audience engagement during the event.

Throughout the month, the Casa will offer workshops, panels, debates, and other events on journalism and environmental topics, as well as launch new reports, tools, and other products for both the press and civil society.

See more about Amazon Conservation Association at COP30 and our events here.

Strengthening Environmental Journalism

The Casa will strengthen the journalistic coverage of 21 media outlets, with the support of organizations such as the Amazon Conservation Association. Before, during, and after COP30, these outlets will share and republish each other’s content to better inform their audiences about the conference and the Leaders’ Summit.

“We are proud to support and strengthen independent media outlets that cover the Amazon, the heart of our mission,” said John Beavers, President of the Amazon Conservation Association. “Working across the Amazon, we see journalism as a powerful ally in communicating accurate, science-based information and helping audiences understand the complexity and urgency of the Amazon Rainforest. At COP30, we will share new scientific findings on the Amazon’s tipping point and present our Amazon Mining Watch platform, developed with partners including the Pulitzer Center, to highlight solutions and data that can help drive informed action.”

Partner outlets will also have access to a fully equipped workspace throughout the month.The Casa will serve as a hub for dozens of journalists from across Brazil, providing a space for networking, information exchange, and collaborative reporting.

Who are the Partners?

The Casa was conceived and organized over the past year by the teams of InfoAmazonia, #Colabora, Envolverde, Eco Nordeste, ((o))eco, Amazônia Vox, Associação de Jornalismo Digital (Ajor), and Open Knowledge Brasil.

Also joining the collaborative coverage effort are Agência Pública, Alma Preta, Ambiental Media, AzMina, Carta Amazônia, Ciência Suja, Intercept Brasil, Nexo, O Joio e O Trigo, Repórter Brasil, Revista Cenarium, Site Independente A LENTE, Agência Urutau, O Varadouro, and Voz da Terra. 

To make the coverage more diverse and representative, these outlets will coordinate daily editorial themes of shared interest to avoid duplicating stories and amplify reach while centering the voices of traditional peoples, marginalized communities, and those most affected by climate negotiations.

International audiences will also have access to this coverage; more than 70 reports will be translated into English and Spanish and distributed to media outlets through LatAm Intersect PR, Burness, and Approach, as well as through the networks of the participating outlets. All content will be made freely available to the InfoAmazonia Citizen Network, a coalition of 25 journalism organizations from the nine Amazonian states.

The Casa do Jornalismo Socioambiental is funded by the Climate and Land Use Alliance (CLUA), whose core support makes the initiative possible. It is also supported by the Itaú Foundation (with expanded participation in activities) and the Climate and Society Institute (iCS), which plays a key role in consolidating the project.

Completing the Casa’s network of supporters are the Amazon Conservation Association, Pulitzer Center, Greenpeace, Covering Climate Now, Heinrich Böll, Oxfam Brasil, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Ciência Hoje, Fundação Rosa Luxemburgo and ITS Rio.

Original Content Production

The outlets participating in the Casa do Jornalismo Socioambiental will produce a variety of content designed to expand reach and ensure real-time, in-depth coverage.

Among the new tools of this collaborative coverage is a real-time feed — a platform that will gather minute-by-minute updates from both official and side events at COP30 in Belém. With multimedia content — including text, photos, audio, and short videos — the feed will be constantly updated by more than 30 reporters from national and local outlets specializing in environmental coverage.

The feed will be integrated into the websites of all partner outlets, allowing readers to follow developments and dive deeper into stories through direct links to full reports.

By bringing together dozens of journalists in a unified effort, this initiative around COP30 represents one of the largest collaborative environmental journalism projects ever organized in Brazil.

About Amazon Conservation Association
Amazon Conservation is an international conservation nonprofit working for the past 25 years towards building a thriving Amazon. The organization’s holistic approach focuses on working with local partners and allies to protect wild places, empower people, and put science and technology to work for conservation. Visit amazonconservation.org for more information.

 

What would you do if your future depended on the health of the forest around you? For many in the Amazon, that’s not a hypothetical—it’s daily life.

Across the rainforest, powerful stories are unfolding—stories of strength, hope, and courage. Indigenous communities and local leaders are working hard to protect the forest that sustains their life, food, and culture.

Thanks to your support, local communities are leading bold, transformative work to protect their forests. Their voices—full of wisdom and bravery—are guiding conservation in ways that respect tradition and shape sustainable futures.

At the heart of this movement are women. They are transforming forest-based resources into thriving livelihoods, passing down knowledge to future generations, and leading efforts to protect their forests and communities. Their stories remind us that protecting the Amazon is not just about preserving trees. It’s about uplifting people, cultures, and legacies.

“The Amazon represents something natural, something beautiful. [It] holds some value for each of us.”
— Elydanitza Yarari Monje

“[The Amazon] represents life for us, because [it] is what provides our needs for us as women and as rural communities.”
— Rosaldina Dumay Mocho

These women are shaping the future of the Amazon, one day at a time. They are passing down traditions of stewardship to their children. And with your support, their impact can grow.

“What we always do as women is teach our children so that they can also get involved in taking care of the Amazon, in taking care of the environment and of the forest where we live. It is about passing this legacy on to our children.”
— Rosaldina Dumay Mocho

Hear directly from some of the women leading their communities in the Bolivian Amazon  to protect the forest for future generations in this short video:

Your support matters now more than ever. Together, we can empower leaders and build resilient communities. 

Each and every day, these women are working hard to transform forest products like acai, Brazil nuts, and cacao into sustainable livelihoods—keeping trees standing and communities thriving. Their leadership proves a simple but powerful truth:

Conservation is strongest when led by those who call the forest home.

Your Support Amplifies Their Voices

Your generosity helps strengthen forest-based economies, empower women producers and Indigenous leaders, and safeguard one of the world’s most vital ecosystems. This year, your contribution directly supports the people whose lives and futures are intertwined with the Amazon.

When you give today, you’re investing in:

• Indigenous producers and women-led producer associations that turn forest resources into sustainable livelihoods, adding value to products like açaí berries, oils, and soaps.
• Local guardians and community-led conservation efforts to patrol, defend, and protect their territories, keeping forests standing for generations to come.
• Resources and workshops like Women Producing the Future, where Indigenous leaders share strategies to protect their forests
• Youth engagement programs ensuring that the next generation of women and men will inherit a thriving forest and the knowledge to care for it.

Your gift doesn’t just protect trees—it uplifts families, strengthens communities, and advances long-term conservation solutions.

Act now: your gift before December 31 keeps this movement going strong into the new year.

Together, we can stand with local communities, protect critical forest resources, and secure a future where the Amazon thrives.

October 9 is DAF Day — a national celebration of giving through Donor-Advised Funds!

This year, Amazon Conservation is proud to join nonprofits nationwide in highlighting the power of DAF giving and how it can protect the Amazon, its wildlife, and the people who call it home.

Your Donor-Advised Fund can do incredible things when you put it to work for both you and the planet.

What Is a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?

A Donor-Advised Fund, or DAF, is a simple, flexible, and tax-advantaged way to give back. Anyone can open a DAF through one of more than 1,000 providers nationwide (such as Vanguard Charitable or Fidelity) and receive an immediate tax deduction when contributing to it.

Then, when you’re ready, you can recommend grants to support the causes you care about — like safeguarding the Amazon’s forests, wildlife, and communities through Amazon Conservation.

Why DAF Day Matters

DAF giving is one of the fastest-growing ways people are fueling conservation around the world. And if you already have a DAF, you’re holding philanthropic dollars ready to make a difference right now — no additional cost to you.

By recommending a DAF grant to Amazon Conservation this DAF Day, you can:

• Protect vital rainforest habitat from illegal deforestation and fires.

• Support Indigenous and local communities who have stewarded these forests for generations.

• Advance cutting-edge science and technology, like our MAAP satellite monitoring program, to defend millions of acres of forest in real time.

• Preserve biodiversity, from jaguars and macaws to rare medicinal plants found nowhere else on Earth.

Every single DAF gift, big or small, creates a ripple effect that lasts for generations.

How You Can Take Part

Making your DAF Day gift is quick and easy. You can use our secure DAF giving tool (linked below) to connect directly with your provider, recommend a grant to Amazon Conservation, and help us keep accurate records of your generous support.

👉 Make Your DAF Day Gift Now

Together, We Can Protect the Amazon for the Future

2025 has been a year of both challenges and hope for the Amazon. From halting illegal deforestation to restoring critical headwaters and empowering Indigenous partners, our work is making measurable progress — but we can’t do it without you.

When you make your DAF grant recommendation today, you are joining dozens of others DAF donors to drive immediate, on-the-ground conservation across Peru, Bolivia, and beyond.

This DAF Day, let’s put generosity into action. What will your DAF do for the Amazon?

 

 

Rise for the Amazon Day is here.

The Amazon, one of the world’s most extraordinary places, is at a crossroads. From deforestation to fires, this vital forest faces unprecedented threats. Yet its people, wildlife, and ecosystems endure with remarkable strength. Now, on September 5th, we rise together in solidarity.

Your support can make all the difference as we stand side by side with Indigenous leaders, forest guardians, and communities putting everything on the line. Every gift, fundraiser started, and message of solidarity adds strength to the movement.

 

The Amazon needs us.
Together, we can protect it.

 

 
In this moment of urgency, Amazon Conservation Board Member and donor Marie Arana wants to share a personal message with you about why protecting the Amazon matters now more than ever:

 

This special day is more than a call to action—it’s also a perfect opportunity to explore smart giving strategies that maximize your impact. As we come together tomorrow for Rise for the Amazon Day, we invite you to take part—whether by sharing the message, making a gift, or finding new ways to stand with the forest and its people. And remember, there are also tax-smart ways to give, such as donating appreciated stock, creating a will, or making gifts directly from your IRA, that can maximize your impact today without impacting your current budget and taking advantage of tax benefits.

Exclusive for donors: When you give today, you’ll receive access to our donor webinar on September 16, where our experts share an inside look into their current conservation work, show how your support is making an impact, and answer donor questions in real time. Donate today for access to this special event.
 
Every gift helps protect wildlife, support Amazonian families, and keep forests standing and thriving.
 

Together, we can protect the Amazon Rainforest–for us all.

 

 
 

On September 5, we celebrate the inaugural Rise for the Amazon Day—a day of awareness and action for the greatest wild forest on Earth. This day reminds us of the Amazon’s importance to life everywhere and calls us to take action to protect it.

The Amazon shapes weather, regulates our climate, and is home to millions of people and species found nowhere else. It is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, and its resilience is deeply tied to our own. Yet pressures from deforestation, extractive industries, and climate change are pushing this forest to a dangerous tipping point.

That’s why this day matters. It is a chance to pause, to reflect, and most importantly to rise together in defense of the forest and all it sustains.

A Glimpse Into the Amazon’s Hidden Life

To celebrate Rise for the Amazon Day, we’re sharing a new video from our research team at Wayqecha Biological Station in Peru, who give us a rare look at the Andean bear, also known as the spectacled bear.

Through the use of camera traps and GPS collars, we’re uncovering the secret lives of these bears and learning just how vital they are to the ecosystem. Scientists call the Andean bear an umbrella species because protecting it means protecting everything else within its vast range—over 230 square miles. When the bear thrives, so do deer, foxes, pumas, dwarf deer, and countless plant and insect species. Its survival is tied to the survival of an entire landscape.

This is what conservation makes possible: a single species, safeguarded, becoming a keystone for the health of the entire forest.

Tomorrow, Join Us in Rising Together

As we prepare to celebrate Rise for the Amazon Day tomorrow, we are reminded that protecting the Amazon is not an isolated act. It is a collective responsibility. Every effort to keep forests standing ripples outward: securing sustainable livelihoods for communities, preserving biodiversity and ecosystems, and stabilizing the global climate we all depend on.

As we come together tomorrow for Rise for the Amazon Day, we invite you to take part—whether by sharing the message, making a gift, or finding new ways to stand with the forest and its people. And remember, there are also tax-smart ways to give, such as donating appreciated stock, creating a will, or making gifts directly from your IRA, that can maximize your impact today without impacting your current budget and taking advantage of tax benefits.

By rising together, we can ensure that the Amazon—and the Andean bear within it—continues to thrive for generations to come.

 

Together, we can protect the Amazon Rainforest–for us all.

 

 
 

For 25 years, Amazon Conservation has worked hand in hand with Indigenous communities and local partners to protect the Amazon’s most important forests and rivers. Your generosity makes it possible for people across the Amazon to build better futures while protecting the forest we all depend on. Thanks to donors like you, communities are finding sustainable alternatives to destructive industries such as illegal mining and logging. 

One of those livelihoods is sustainable fish farming. In a region where illegal mining and logging too often provide the only income opportunities, fish farming offers families a way to earn a living while keeping the forest and rivers healthy.

In the Madre de Dios region of Peru, Nemésio has become a leader in this effort. With support from Amazon Conservation and our sister organization, Conservación Amazónica-ACCA in Peru, Nemésio raises native Amazonian fish through responsible aquaculture (or fish farming) practices. His ponds are designed to work in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem, providing food and income for his family without turning to destructive industries.

Sustainable aquaculture is more than just a source of food and income – it is part of a growing movement of community-led conservation across the Amazon. Families are finding new opportunities that protect rivers and forests, improve food security, and show that there are viable alternatives to activities like illegal mining that threaten both people and the environment.

For Nemésio, this work represents hope for the future: “More than anything, we want to succeed and show to others that there is an alternative to work in mining and illegal logging that actually protects our forest patrimony.”

Watch Nemésio’s story here:

 

By supporting sustainable initiatives like Nemésio’s, you are proving that conservation and prosperity can go hand in hand. Families have the tools to thrive, forests remain intact, and the Amazon becomes stronger for generations to come.

Why This Matters for Rise for the Amazon Day

On September 5, we will celebrate our inaugural Rise for the Amazon Day, a global call to action to protect the forests that give the world so much – in the form of air, food, water, medicine, and climate stability – and to support the communities who depend on them.

Stories like Nemésio’s show what is possible when conservation is done in partnership with local people: forests stay standing, families prosper, and the Amazon’s future becomes more secure for us all.

Make a Gift Today

Your donation makes stories like Nemésio’s possible. By giving today, you support sustainable livelihoods, protect critical forests, and ensure that both people and nature can thrive in the Amazon.

 

Together, we can protect the Amazon Rainforest–for us all.
