We work with local communities on the frontlines of conservation.
Humans decide the fate of the Amazon. Equitable and successful conservation cannot be done without collaboration with local communities, who are both most vulnerable and whose decisions can have greatest consequences for protecting biodiversity.
We collaborate with local and Indigenous communities to empower their efforts to reduce degradation of biodiversity and cultural heritage. This includes assistance with diverse projects include territorial mapping and monitoring, communication and capacity building, and more.
Community Empowerment & Support
We partner with local and Indigenous communities to support initiatives that improve the protection of biodiversity loss, cultural heritage, and community well-being.
We support our indigenous allies with events, activities, and published materials that amplify their voices and raise awareness about their struggles.
Amplifying Community Voices
