Meet ARCC’s 2026 Research & Journalism Fellows

Written By Ethan Duvall

Each year, the Amazon Research & Conservation Collaborative (ARCC) awards grants to support outstanding research and journalism initiatives that advance our mission in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, WE ARE PROUD TO FUNDNINE FELLOWS IN 2026—more than quadrupling our support since 2024.

We are honored to introduce this year’s research and journalism fellows. These exceptional individuals are leading critical research and bringing vital stories from the Ecuadorian Amazon to light, strengthening efforts to protect this globally important ecosystem.
